About Bellbird Hotel
Bellbird Hotel has stood on Wollombi Road in Bellbird since 1914, roughly 5km out of Cessnock on the way into Hunter wine country. The Gavin family runs it as a full country pub-hotel: a bar, a large bistro, outdoor areas, live music on the gig guide and rooms to stay in, which makes it a handy base for groups who want the party and the bed under one roof. Functions here are built around the whole pub rather than a single hired room. The team takes hens parties, bucks nights, birthday celebrations, Christmas parties, cocktail gatherings, family functions and corporate events, and tailors packages from small groups up to larger parties. Hens and bucks packages include bar vouchers to start the night, a free jukebox and a meal in the bistro, and the pub also runs golf weekends with a free shuttle between the pub and the course for groups of up to 10, plus a bar voucher for bookings of eight or more. Food comes from the bistro, whose menu runs from share plates and salads through to schnitzels, seafood and slow-cooked mains, with gluten-free and dairy-free options marked. The events coordinators look after the planning, from catering to getting your group across from its accommodation, and enquiries go through the function form on the website or by phone. Prices aren't published, so expect a quote once the team knows your numbers and the kind of night you have in mind.
