Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

For a function, the whole restaurant is reserved for your group.

What a Black Rock birthday looks like here:

Numbers: 46 seated for a long dinner or 80 for a cocktail party.
Food: buffet banquets, cocktail items, grazing dishes or a menu built for the occasion, with a seafood leaning.

Finish time: 11:30pm at the end of the week, 11pm otherwise.

Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free guests are catered for.
A council car park sits next door to the boatshed.

Ask the coordinator about cake, styling and the running order when you enquire.
