A 40th on the Central Coast tends to go one of two ways: a long dinner with the people who matter, or a proper party with a bar, a band or a DJ and a late finish. Both are easy to arrange here, and Terrigal's waterfront restaurants make a strong base for the first.
For the dinner version, Swells Terrigal seats groups of 10 to 80 above the beach, with a shared banquet and welcome bubbles from $87 per person. Coral Grill & Seafood can be booked outright for 65 seated on the Esplanade, with set menus from $70 per person, and Amarilla, a Spanish-inspired restaurant on the water at Terrigal Haven, takes exclusive bookings from $5,000 minimum spend. The Tropic adds a private dining room for 22 and room for 280 standing on exclusive hire. Further north, Motel Mezza in Wyong hands over its Middle Eastern restaurant and cocktail bar for shared banquets from $65 per person.
For the party version, The Savoy Bar and Music fills a heritage-listed former cinema at Long Jetty with a live music stage, Wyong Milk Factory Tavern has a dance floor in its upstairs DO Room, and Royal Hotel Wyong's private Canoe Club room takes 80 standing. Holding it at home or in a hired hall instead? DJ Bass Sick mixes live from $700, Blue Vinyl covers fifty years of hits with its own PA, and Central Coast Jukebox Hire drops off a karaoke jukebox with wireless mics.
