About Cams Wharf Tavern
Cams Wharf Tavern is a local pub on Wild Duck Drive, set within the grounds of Raffertys Resort on the shore of Lake Macquarie. Its dining room, bar and outdoor decks all look across the lake, and the grounds take in lawns that run down to the water. The kitchen pairs fresh seafood with classic pub dishes, and the bar does spritzes, margaritas and shared jugs. Two spaces on site are set up for private events. The Reception Centre is the larger of the two and suits formal occasions such as wedding receptions, engagement parties and gala dinners. The Lakeside Function Space is smaller and sits right on the edge of the lake, and works well for birthdays, family reunions and celebrations of life. A function room with free Wi-Fi is also available for hire, and the lawns are used for outdoor ceremonies. Weddings can be held entirely on site, with a ceremony on the lawn, the reception indoors and accommodation for guests, so nobody needs to travel between venues. The menus offered suit a range of occasions, from relaxed gatherings to formal sit-down dinners. The tavern does not publish prices or capacities online, so contact the team with your date and numbers to get a quote and check which space suits your group.
