Birthday Party Venues in Main Ridge

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Main Ridge is hinterland country above the bays, and its two birthday venues could hardly feel more different. Green Olive at Red Hill is a working olive farm and vineyard, while The Pig & Whistle is a British-themed pub on Purves Road whose old machinery shed became a theatre.

Choosing between the Main Ridge farm and the Main Ridge pub:

Long tables: the olive farm seats up to 100 over seasonal food from its kitchen garden.
A roaming party: canapé events on the farm hold up to 200.
A fireside gathering: an open fire warms the pub's Cellar Bar, a converted milking shed looking over the vineyard.
Live music: gigs run most weeks in The Shed Theatre, which seats 45 at tables for dinner.
Pub comfort food: the 90-seat Restaurant leans on hearty classics, Guinness pie among them.

Pub functions start at 30 guests, so a smaller birthday may suit the farm's semi-private options instead.

Lawn games and pickleball can be added to fill the gap between courses.
Tasting paddles pour the estate's own wine.
The 27-acre farm takes in an olive grove, a lemon grove, a spring lake and remnant bush for a wander.
Events can run sit-down or cocktail style and are shaped around your plans.
