About Blue Mountain Hotel
The Blue Mountain Hotel is a heritage-listed pub on the New England Highway at Harlaxton, on Toowoomba's northern edge. It has a bistro, a sports bar and a wide alfresco area, all looking out over rolling hills and the valley below the range. Functions can take over three areas, each hired by half or in full. The Lower Deck has open views, privacy from the main restaurant and room for 30 to 50 on half or up to 120 across the whole deck. The bistro suits 30 to 50 guests on half or up to 130 in full, seated or standing. The sports bar fits up to 60 on half and up to 120 in full, with sport on the screens, a pool table and plenty of beers on tap. Lunch hire runs from 11am to 3pm and evening hire from 5pm to 9pm, or you can take the space all day when it is free. Every booking includes black or white tablecloths, coloured napkins and bunches of helium balloons. The kitchen offers alternate-drop set menus, portioned buffets and platters, with a minimum of 30 guests for set menus. Extras such as balloon garlands, outdoor games, a TV, a custom sign and a tea and coffee station can be added. On the Lower Deck you can book a musician or act as your own DJ through the in-house speakers. Security is required for 18th and 21st birthdays and is arranged through the hotel.
