Before you head over
Practical advice on accessibility, dietary ordering, and parking
Order freely across the food menu
The entire kitchen and food menu are 100% gluten-free with Coeliac Australia accreditation, meaning coeliac diners can order any dish without checking for cross-contamination.
Request ground floor for stair-free access
If dining with guests who have mobility limits or who cannot navigate stairs, request ground-floor seating in advance when booking, as upstairs function rooms require stair access.
Plan ahead for street parking
Like many historic venues in the precinct, street parking immediately adjacent to the hotel is limited, so plan extra time to park or consider nearby side streets.
