About 8 at Trinity
8 at Trinity is a modern Australian restaurant with a strong Mediterranean seaside feel, built on the marina at Trinity Point in Morisset Park on the western side of Lake Macquarie. The building sits a few steps from the water, looking over Bardens Bay with bushland behind it, and guests can even arrive by boat using the marina berths. For private functions the venue is booked in sections or as a whole. The main dining room seats about 120, the inside dining room with the deck about 110, and the entire restaurant around 230 at the custom marble tables. Outside, the green terrace deck, the cocktail bar deck and the grass area act as spaces for pre-dinner drinks and canapés, holding up to 350 standing across all three, under umbrellas. Ceremonies can be held on the front lawns and gardens on request, and the timber decking on the ground floor can be cleared for dancing once dinner is done. Functions are built on sit-down packages: arrival canapés, warm bread and two, three or four courses served as an alternate drop or shared plates, priced per person. Unlimited beverage packages run for three, four or five hours at three levels, or drinks can be charged on consumption against the minimum spend. An events manager plans the day with you, and floor staff work at one waiter to every fifteen guests. DJs, MCs, a screen and projector, styling and a coat attendant can be arranged at extra cost. Lunch events finish by 4pm, and dinner events start from 6pm and wrap up by 11pm (10pm on Sundays).
