Fortnums is a conservatory-style restaurant in Sassafras for up to 100 guests, a good fit for a birthday party.

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A daytime birthday among tree ferns is what Fortnums does well. The family-run restaurant sits at 395 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, and its private Garden Room, reached by a path through the garden, is set aside for birthday groups of 15 to 30.

For a bigger milestone, the main dining room is styled like an English conservatory, with tall arched windows and small chandeliers.

How a Sassafras birthday can come together:

A small family lunch – the Garden Room is booked exclusively, so 15 to 30 guests have the light-filled space and its garden outlook to themselves
Afternoon tea for a grandparent's 80th – high tea is one of the function menu styles on offer
A relaxed spread for friends – a grazing table instead of a sit-down meal
A larger milestone – the conservatory restaurant holds up to 100, with an outdoor deck facing the ranges
Party colours – the room can be dressed to match, with linen napkins, organza runners and fresh flowers

Menus are put together for each booking by the kitchen, which works with local produce. Send an enquiry to talk through the guest list, menu and date with the function coordinator.

Natural light and garden views make it suit a birthday held during the day rather than late at night
Exclusive use means no other diners share the room while the candles are blown out
Numbers start at 15, so it fits a close circle rather than a single couple
The path through the garden gives guests a short stroll among the ferns on arrival

Cake, tea and grazing

Choose between a sit-down meal, a high tea or a grazing table, depending on the mood of the day
Vegetarian and gluten-free guests are catered for, along with other dietary needs
Produce is local and the cooking happens in the Fortnums kitchen rather than being brought in
A function coordinator plans each booking, from the menu to how the tables are dressed
