Alongside its bistro, bars and gaming room it runs a full events operation, with a dedicated event manager for each booking. There are nine spaces to choose from. The Gateway Rooms are the main function area, a private upstairs space with its own bar, lobby, lift access and soundproof walls, holding up to 350 for cocktails or 150 at banquet tables when the rooms are combined. The Brosnan Room takes up to 130 standing or 90 seated and has its own bar and AV. The Catalina Rooms suit smaller groups and meetings, and two soundproof private dining rooms can be joined for up to 90 standing guests. For something more relaxed, the Main Bar can be booked exclusively for up to 300 and the leafy Beer Garden for up to 150. The Tab Room has a pool table and private bar for 20 to 50 after 6pm, while the Sports Bar has four pool tables and two dartboards for groups up to 90. Function food runs from canapé packages and share platters to a carvery-style buffet and a plated two or three course menu served alternate drop. Breakfast and day delegate packages cover corporate events, and dietary needs are handled with two weeks' notice. Drinks can be set up as a timed package, a set bar tab or a cash bar. There are 49 hotel rooms on site for guests staying over, and more than 100 free car spaces.
