About Rockpool Pavilion
Rockpool Pavilion is a restaurant set right on the waterfront at the northern end of The Strand, looking out across the water towards Magnetic Island. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from Thursday to Sunday, and the whole pavilion doubles as a function venue. The dining room opens onto a railed deck above the water, so tables sit close to the view and the sunset over the bay. For a private event the space can be arranged for a seated dinner of up to 120 guests or a cocktail-style gathering of up to 150. Layouts are flexible. Long banquet tables with white linen suit milestone birthday dinners and wedding receptions, while a standing setup across the deck suits a cocktail party or engagement celebration. Food for functions comes from the restaurant kitchen, which works with each host on a menu that fits the event. The everyday menus lean towards seafood platters, oysters and share plates, with vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free dishes marked. Drinks are arranged as beverage packages tailored to the booking. Each event has a dedicated functions coordinator, an AV setup with a microphone for speeches, and parking available along The Strand. The venue hosts birthdays and milestones, corporate events, weddings and engagements, cocktail parties, graduations and formals, and private dining with sole use of the pavilion.
