Bucks Party Venues in Petersham

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

For a bucks crew that would rather settle into a proper local than chase a nightclub queue, Petersham has two pubs a train ride from the city. The White Cockatoo Hotel faces Petersham Station at 30 Terminus St, and Public House Petersham spreads across a front bar, sports room, upstairs lounge and big backyard at 292 Stanmore Rd.

Setting up the groom's send-off:

Backyard Beer Garden @ Public House Petersham: a semi-private stretch of the garden for the whole crew, up to 100 at long tables
White Cockatoo Hotel: the Back Dining room for up to 50, or The Nook for a tighter group of 30
Games and screens: pool, pinball and live sport in the White Cockatoo front bar, plus a sports room at Public House
Fuel for the night: wood-fired pizzas at Public House, or wings, fried chicken and fish bites on 25-piece platters at the White Cockatoo
Drinks: packages for two to four hours at either pub, a spirits upgrade at the White Cockatoo, or a bar tab with a limit

Starting at one and finishing at the other is straightforward, since both sit near Petersham Station. Anyone travelling in for the weekend can take one of the White Cockatoo's upstairs guest rooms.

Public House canapé packages start From $48 per person for six pieces, and the two bigger packages add sliders, prawn rolls and pasta
White Cockatoo platters cover lamb kofta, samosas and freshly shucked oysters as well as pub favourites
