About The Royal Mail Hotel
The Royal Mail Hotel is a long-standing pub on Poinciana Avenue in Tewantin. It runs as a full local pub with a bistro, a sports bar, a corner bar and a large beer garden, and it takes bookings for private gatherings in several of those areas. Functions are spread across five semi-private spaces rather than one closed room. The bistro takes the most people, up to 100 guests, while the corner bar inside suits groups of around 70 who want a casual drinks setting. Out the back, the beer garden is split into two bookable sections with picnic tables, umbrellas and covered areas, plus an undercover deck for about 50 that sits near the bar. These outdoor areas look towards the river and work well for daytime parties and long afternoons. Food comes from the pub kitchen. Hosts can pick canapé packages of four, six or eight pieces per guest, shared platters such as seafood, sushi, pizza or pies, or a two or three course alternate drop set menu for a seated meal. Drinks are handled through standard, premium or deluxe packages lasting two to four hours, a bar tab with a limit you set, or a cash bar where guests buy their own. Cocktails on arrival and a spirits upgrade can be added to a package. The functions team helps with the details for birthdays, engagements, Christmas functions and corporate events. Send an enquiry with your date, numbers and preferred space to start planning.
