About The Grovedale Hotel
The Grovedale Hotel stands on Torquay Road in Grovedale, on the southern side of Geelong, and traces its history back to 1859. It is a big complex, with a three-room restaurant, an open-air garden bar and a sports bar, plus a drive-through bottle shop. Every part of the hotel can be hired for private or open functions. Pioneer Kitchen is the main dining room, and The Terrace beside it has a louvred roof that opens to the sky and its own bar. The Library is a closed room with a separate bar for private dinners. When numbers are large, the doors between Pioneer Kitchen, The Terrace and The Library open to make one space. The Juke, a laneway-style garden bar with live music, suits groups of up to 40, and The Members End sports bar holds up to 250. Across all its spaces the hotel caters for 10 to 300 guests. Menus range from casual to premium set menus, with roaming canapés and platters as well. The Terrace has two 55-inch screens and The Library a projector, and both rooms have a wireless microphone and an iPod input. Every function room is fully staffed, with bar staff and wait staff for dining.
