About Copper & Fox

Copper & Fox is an Australian bistro and bar at 1/38 Lakeside Boulevard in Pakenham. Inside there's a copper-fronted bar, timber tables and a geometric feature wall, with a cocktail list and a strong spirits range behind the bar. The venue has two private rooms, and either one can be booked exclusively. Each has its own fully stocked bar, private bathrooms, a sound system and a microphone. Upstairs suits smaller parties: up to 80 guests standing or 40 at tables, with a private balcony, a smoking area and smart TVs. Downstairs is the larger private dining room, taking up to 120 for a cocktail event or 70 seated, with wheelchair access. For cocktail-style events the kitchen sends canapés around the room or sets them out as a buffet, priced by the platter or as per-person packages. Seated groups choose between two-course and three-course function menus or a limited à la carte list, with dishes swapped to suit dietary needs. Each room carries a minimum food and beverage spend that is higher on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday to Thursday events can run up to 4 hours, and Friday and Saturday events up to 5 hours. To hold a date, send an enquiry with your guest count and event style – the events manager then confirms details and sends a deposit invoice.
