About At The Heads
At The Heads sits right on the jetty at Barwon Heads, on the Bellarine Peninsula south-east of Geelong. The restaurant serves modern Australian food built on Australian seafood and local seasonal produce. The main dining room is all warm timber and glass, with bi-fold doors on the north and east sides that open the room onto the deck and the water. Guests look across to the Barwon Heads bridge, the Bluff and the heads of Port Phillip Bay. For exclusive use, the whole venue seats 120 or takes 160 for a cocktail event. The Mulloway Room, on the Bluff side, seats 54 or holds 80 for canapés, with its own entrance and courtyard access, though the restaurant may keep trading while it is in use. The team hosts birthdays, baby showers, engagement parties and corporate functions for groups of 10 upwards. Christmas functions for work groups of 20 to 80 can be a shared sit-down meal or a stand-up party with roving food, and a drinks package can be added. Weddings can hold the ceremony on the sand where the river runs out to sea, on the grass above the jetty or indoors under the exposed beams. Receptions run under fairy lights strung through the rafters, and whole-venue weddings start from $16,000 on off-peak dates. Function packages are sent out once you share your date and rough guest numbers, and site visits can be arranged. A 20% surcharge applies on public holidays.
