About Highfields Tavern
Highfields Tavern sits where Highfields Road meets O'Brien Road in Highfields, on Toowoomba's northern edge. It runs a family bistro, a sports bar with pool tables and a jukebox, and an outdoor play area beside the dining room. The main function space is a fully private room with a projector, a sound system, a tea and coffee station and the option of its own bar. It takes 100 guests standing or 80 at tables, and hire is $100. The room works for anything from a sit-down dinner to a standing party. For smaller groups, the cocktail lounge is a semi-private area for 15 to 30 people at $50. Half the bistro can be booked for seated groups of up to 60 at $80, and the full bistro is available with a $5,000 minimum spend on food. Every hire includes the option of table linen, napkins and balloons. Alternate-drop menus with two choices per course cost $40, $50 or $60 per person for one to three courses, with dishes such as barramundi, fillet mignon and lamb shank. Groups of 40 or more can choose a roast buffet at $30 per person or an American barbecue buffet at $40. Platters from $85 cover grazing, sliders, skewers, party food and desserts. Drinks run on an open bar, a limited tab or a three-hour package from $55 per person, with spirits added in the $85 premium option. A private function bar can be added for $200, and the room hire is paid as the deposit to lock in the date.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests fit in the function room?
Up to 100 standing or 80 at tables. The cocktail lounge takes 15 to 30, and half the bistro seats up to 60.
What does room hire cost?
The function room is $100, the cocktail lounge $50 and the half bistro $80. Booking the whole bistro needs a minimum food spend of $5,000, and the hire fee is paid as the deposit.
Are drinks packages available for an 18th?
No. The three-hour drinks packages can't be used for 18th birthdays, and when a package is chosen it has to cover every guest over 18. An open bar or a limited tab is the alternative.
Can we bring our own food or cake?
Outside food and drinks aren't allowed, apart from a cake and lollies, which the kitchen doesn't supply. Loose confetti and glitter need a manager's approval, or a $250 cleaning fee applies.
Is there AV for speeches or slideshows?
Yes, the function room has a projector and a sound system for presentations and music.
