About The Shed @ Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a bar, bistro and function centre on Isabella Drive in Gilmore, in Tuggeranong, built around pioneer cottages dating from the 1870s. The heritage-listed grounds hold Mary's Bar, a café cottage, a beer garden under old kurrajong trees and several function spaces. The Shed is the venue's main party room, fitted out in timber and corrugated iron with two pool tables and a stage for a DJ or small band. It seats up to 100, takes more standing, and comes with its own private bar, bar attendant and bathrooms. For entertainment the room has two plasma TVs, a large projector screen and a surround sound system, though hirers bring their own cables, laptops and know-how. With some styling the same rustic room has also hosted country-style weddings. Food comes from the bistro kitchen as platters and pizzas, served in the room or out in the garden. Hot platters, sliders, kebabs, rice paper rolls and grazing boards are on the function menu, and large pizzas cost $20 each. A room hire fee secures the booking, and final numbers and food payment are due a full week before the event. Alcohol brought in from elsewhere is not allowed. Other spaces include the Glasshouse, with an open fireplace and seating for 60 to 80, and the Marquee for up to 100 beside the beer garden. Deck and garden areas can also be hired from $350.

Pricing

Rose Cottage charges a room hire fee to confirm a booking in The Shed, quoted for each event rather than published. Deck and garden areas elsewhere on the grounds can be hired from $350.

Function platters are priced per platter, and large pizzas are $20 each. Final numbers and food payment are due a week before the event.

Food

Function food is built from platters and pizzas. Hot platters, honey soy drumettes, sliders, mini quiches, chicken or beef kebabs, wraps, vegetarian platters, food cones and prawn rice paper rolls are on offer, along with grazing boards.

Pizzas come in more than a dozen styles, and gluten-free and vegan bases are available.

Beverages

The Shed has its own private bar staffed by a dedicated bar attendant. Drinks are bought from the venue, as outside alcohol is not permitted.

Availability

Bookings are confirmed once the room hire fee is paid, with final numbers and food payment due a full week ahead. The venue quotes each function on request.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests fit in The Shed?

The Shed seats up to 100 guests, with standing room for more. For a smaller group, the Glasshouse seats 60 to 80 around its open fireplace.

Can we have a DJ or band?

Yes. The Shed has a stage suited to a DJ or small band, plus a surround sound system, a large projector screen and two plasma TVs. You will need to bring your own cables and laptop to use them, and any entertainment must be cleared with the venue first.

What food can be served?

The kitchen serves platters and pizzas for functions. Options include hot platters, chicken and beef kebabs, sliders, quiches, prawn cutlets, rice paper rolls and grazing boards, and large pizzas cut into eight pieces cost $20 each.

Can we bring our own drinks?

No. The Shed has its own private bar run by a dedicated bar attendant, and alcohol brought onto the premises from elsewhere is not permitted.

How is a booking confirmed?

Paying the room hire fee confirms the booking, and final guest numbers and food payment are due one full week before the function. Cancelling more than three months out refunds the hire fee minus a $50 admin charge, and cancellations between two weeks and three months forfeit half of it.
