About this space

Verandah is a bar and restaurant venue organised around a social dining layout that balances open dining zones and smaller private areas.

Design: The interior pairs warm timber panelling and rattan seating with patterned floor tiles and high ceilings, punctuated by hanging plants and pendant lights.

Features: Verandah has an in-house kitchen and a full bar serving cocktails, beer and wine. The venue includes an outdoor terrace, private dining rooms, eight distinct function spaces and a cosy fireplace. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a PA system with speakers, permission for own music or bring‑your‑own DJs, and wheelchair access.

Ideal for: Corporate and social groups seeking relaxed, social dining or adaptable standing receptions that can shift between seated and casual formats.

What sets it apart: The kitchen is led by former AHA Chef of the Year Brad Sloane and focuses on native Australian flavours sourced from local suppliers.

What guests say: The space is stylish and airy with comfortable seating and attentive service. The space can become noisy and crowded during peak times.

Saskia was a delight to work with. All our special requests were accommodated, the service staff were friendly and our event went off without a hitch. Would definitely use this venue again!

Christmas Party · 150 guests · December 2024
We had our Christmas party lunch for 140 people at Social Dining, Katie and Saskia were impeccable in their attention to detail and unflappable poise. No curveball was too hard and the wait staff were friendly and quickly knew all the guests with dietary requirements. Katie kept us up to date with the spend so we didn't go over budget.
There was nothing to dislike or complain about.
