The Royal Muswellbrook is a heritage hotel with private function rooms and a courtyard for up to 100 guests, a good fit for a birthday party.

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Muswellbrook, the Upper Hunter's main town on the New England Highway, is where many families across the region gather for a birthday, and The Royal Muswellbrook is a natural meeting point. The 1893 hotel stands at the top of the main street at 12 Bridge Street, a short walk from the train station, which makes it reachable for relatives coming in from out of town.

Rather than a vineyard estate or a function centre, it is a working country pub with private rooms, so the guest of honour decides whether the night stays quiet or gets loud.

What an Upper Hunter birthday at The Royal offers:

A central location: the main town of the region, on the highway and near the station.
Six spaces in one building: from The Cellar for 16 to The Courtyard and The Beer Garden for 100.
No hire fee for four of them: The View, The Chamber, The Courtyard and The Beer Garden.
Pub food done properly: seated char-grill packages from $50 per person.
Rooms upstairs: 18 hotel rooms for guests who come from further away.

Hire runs for four hours with an hour beforehand to set up decorations, and the venue can also cater parties held elsewhere in the Upper Hunter.

Easy to reach: on the New England Highway, north-west of Singleton, with the station a few minutes from the pub.
Built for families: private rooms keep a family birthday separate from the front bar and sports room.
Heritage character: the current hotel opened in 1893 on the first block of land sold in the town.
A party at home instead: The Royal caters off-site across the Upper Hunter, for a birthday on the farm or in the backyard.

Food and format for every age

Seated milestone: three courses for a table of ten or more, or an alternate-serve two-course meal for parties of 20 upward.
Casual crowd: grazing boards and platters set out in the courtyard or beer garden.
A table to remember: butcher's boards and seafood towers ordered in advance.
Photos and speeches: TV and presentation facilities for a slide show of old family photos.
