Venue Hire
Excludes food and beverage, please note we do not allow BYO on functions. You do not need to pay venue hire if you do not wish to have the venue exclusively. However, we do not allow bands, DJs or dance floors without exclusive venue hire of the entire restaurant as this can impact on other diners.
Please Note We Have A Strict No Smoking Policy
There is a smoking section on the front open deck, however, by law we are not allowed to permit smoking inside the restaurant, bar area or on any deck that is undercover. If one of your guests are caught smoking in a non - designated area, you will be liable to pay a fine of R500 per person. This will be added to your final bill. When making speeches or announcement, please let your guests know where the designated smoking area is.
