Before you head over

Practical dining tips to help you arrive, order, and make the most of your visit

  • Navigate to Rear Parking

    Roadworks along Main South Road make front access tricky; use navigation and head to the rear car park and entrance for free, step-free access into all areas.

  • Pre-Order for Group Lunches

    Large parties can pre-order food ahead of time so meals come out promptly upon arrival, especially when dining rooms fill up during peak weekday lunch.

  • Ask for Half-Size Portions

    Smaller appetites and team members watching their spend can request a half-size schnitzel at a reduced price instead of a full meal.
