Eighteenths on the Central Coast tend to run in two halves: something loud and active with friends during the day, then a function room where family drops in for the cake and speeches before the party takes over. The options here cover both – pubs with private spaces, activity venues for the afternoon and a party bus to join the dots.
The Terrace @ The Settler's Tavern in West Gosford is an undercover outdoor terrace at a sports pub, taking 60 seated or 100 cocktail-style. There's no cake fee, balloons and decorations are welcome, and onsite parking and step-free entry from Hely Street help when grandparents are coming. To dress the terrace or any other room, Air Art Balloons makes custom garlands, archways and columns, and Celebration Set Ups hires welcome signs, lanterns and lawn games, with styling from $120 – both travel right across the coast. At The Entrance, The Lakes Hotel doesn't charge for space hire across its four function areas; its Front Bar takes up to 120 with its own bar and toilets, party platters start from $90 and the bar tab can be set to whatever budget suits.
For a bigger year-group crowd, Woodport Hotel in Erina has a waterside Garden Bar, The Loft with its own terrace and a Basement Bar, with catering packages from $45 per person once you reach 30 guests.
