By 30, plenty of people have stopped wanting a function room and started wanting a good afternoon. The Central Coast handles that well: craft breweries in Gosford and Erina, a beach pub at Umina, a heritage tavern in Wyong and a golf estate in the hinterland, with workshops and games that slot in before dinner.
The breweries make an easy base. Six String Brewing Co. in Erina has an upstairs space over the brewhouse for 80 seated, share platters from $35 per person and the option of a guided tasting or behind-the-scenes tour. Bay Road Brewing in Gosford brews its own beer for 19 taps and can be booked outright. Nearby, Distillery Botanica runs a Distil Your Own gin or vodka workshop – pick botanicals in the garden, run them through a copper still and label the bottle – with experiences from $45 per person.
If the group would rather play, Hole in Fun at Lisarow pairs indoor mini golf and golf simulators with a licensed bar, The Paintball Place Kulnura runs themed games on bush fields, and Sip Paint & Create sends a qualified visual arts teacher to groups of six or more, at its Budgewoi studio or your venue.
