Helpful Information
What styles of conference catering does the Estate offer?
We have two conference packages available, each with different options to suit your needs.
Our Premium packages follow a more traditional conference route, with salads and filled sandwiches laid out grazing style, to encourage interaction between guests.
Our Deluxe packages include a unique take on a conference lunch, offering a salad and side dish with a hot main selection served sharing style, for a more formal, seated experience.
You can download our conference packages here, or get in touch with the team for more details.
Where is the conference catering served?
Tea breaks and Premium conference lunches are typically served grazing style in the Lounge. Delegates are welcome to make a plate and head to any of our available seating areas in the Lounge, Bistro or outdoor spaces to enjoy their break.
Deluxe conference lunches are served seated in either our Barrabool space or Bistro.
Can we eat outside in the warmer weather?
