About Caulfield Hotel
The Caulfield Hotel is a local pub on Derby Road in Caulfield East, with a bistro, a sports bar and two private event spaces. The function side covers anything from a birthday to a corporate gathering, with its own menus and drinks packages. The Atrium is the brighter of the two rooms, filled with daylight and fitted with its own bar and a mezzanine level for smaller groups within the party. The function pack lists it for 120 seated or 300 for a cocktail event. Derby's sits below street level and has an open floor plan, an industrial feel and a dedicated bar. It suits cocktail parties for up to 200 or seated dinners, and comes with audio-visual gear and a private area. Food is built around stand-up menus, a luxe canapé option, share platters and two or three course seated dinners. The kitchen adjusts dishes for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs when told in advance. Drinks run as timed packages, a bar tab set by the host, or a flat non-alcoholic package. Cocktails on arrival can be added to any booking. Packages generally cover use of the room, basic AV and staff. Send an enquiry with your event type, guest numbers and preferred date to check which space is free.
