We had a pre-Xmas family function with many areas to choose from. Connie is an absolute legend in service, made us all feel very welcome and went above and beyond to make sure the experience was memorable.

We recently had our Xmas long lunch in the private room, which meant we were completely comfortable and out of the heat. Management, waitstaff and bar staff ensured each request was catered to. We will definitely be back.

We hosted our Christmas Party for 175 people at The Orchard Pavilion. The venue was set up beautifully and great atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond for the entire evening. Booking and planning the event was very easy.

We celebrated our daughter's Christening at the Pavilion, and it was so beautiful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the venue, the food, the service. The park was a huge hit with the kids. Natalie was a dream to work with.

We hosted a Brunch for Good charity event with 100 guests. Natalie is a true professional and it all ran so smoothly with delicious food. The wait staff were amazing and service gold class. We are so lucky to have such a quality venue locally.

Why The Orchard

Celebrate your christmas dinnerat The Orchard

Christmas Day lunch at The Orchard is a set festive menu from Freddy’s kitchen served on the Alfresco 1 (riverside): seafood, roasts, Italian classics and a dessert table from Bakery Brothers and OMG Donuts. Kids have their own menu and the playground.

Family groups of 20 can take The Cosy Corner privately; larger family gatherings book the Pavilion. Christmas Eve and Boxing Day sittings also run. Book through our restaurant reservations from October.
