About The Valley Pub

The Valley Pub is the local pub in the Erindale centre on Gartside Street, Wanniassa, in Canberra's Tuggeranong valley. It runs a bistro, live sport on the screens and eight pool tables, and it takes group bookings and functions in several parts of the venue. The Front Dining area sits close to the bar and holds up to 50 guests, so your group stays in among the buzz of the pub. The Rear Dining area, towards the back of the building, also takes up to 50 and feels a little calmer, set slightly apart from the main bar. For bigger events there is a fully private function room for up to 100 guests, fitted with a stage and a dedicated bar. The pub pitches it at milestone birthdays, engagements, work functions and nights with live music or dancing. Food for functions comes two ways. The buffet costs $35 per person for two mains and two sides, with choices like beef ragu, gnocchi, pork belly or garlic and herb chicken, plus upgrades to lamb shoulder or flank steak. The alternative is to build your own spread from the functions pack: charcuterie and dips, pies and sausage rolls, skewers, wings, sliders by the 20, ten-inch pizzas and big salads. Drinks can be set up as a package or as a bar tab with a limit you choose. The team handles the details once you share the date, numbers and style of event, and they aim to come back within one business day. December work parties start from around 20 guests in the dining areas.

The function buffet costs $35 per person for two mains and two sides. Upgrading a main to lamb shoulder adds $8 per person, and flank steak adds $10 per person.

Food

Buffet mains run from beef ragu and gnocchi to pork belly and garlic and herb chicken, served with sides such as chips, wedges, roasted potatoes, buttered beans and a green leaf salad.

Beverages

Functions can run with a drinks package or a bar tab set by the host. The private function room has a bar of its own, and the main bar pours beer on tap and cocktails.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests can The Valley Pub hold for a function?

The Front Dining and Rear Dining areas each seat groups of up to 50. The private function room takes up to 100 guests and comes with a stage and a dedicated bar.

What does the function buffet include?

The buffet is $35 per person and covers two mains and two sides, with 180g of mains and 200g of sides per guest. Mains include garlic and herb chicken, pork belly, beef ragu and gnocchi, and you can upgrade to lamb shoulder or flank steak for a small extra charge.

Can we order platters instead of a buffet?

Yes. The functions pack lists share plates and party food priced by the tray, such as sausage rolls, kofta skewers, wings, sliders, pizzas and salads, so you can build a spread that suits your group.

How do drinks work at a function?

You can add a drinks package or set up a bar tab for your guests. Prices for drinks packages are confirmed when you plan the event with the team.

Does The Valley Pub host work Christmas parties?

Yes. End-of-year parties run from about 20 guests in the dining areas up to 100 in the private function room, with the buffet or share platters and a drinks package or bar tab.
