    We write the menu.
    Then we design it.

    For a wedding we build the courses around you, and the printed menu that sits on the table is ours too. Your names, your flowers, your day.

    • Courses chosen with you, not picked off a list
    • Menus designed and printed for the day, at no extra cost
    • One long table, or the whole restaurant to yourselves

    Before you ask

    The questions we get every week

    How many people can you seat?

    Up to 90 guests across the dining room and the deck. Smaller groups from about 10 people are just as welcome, and for those we usually keep you to one long table.

    Can we have the restaurant to ourselves?

    Yes. Exclusive use works best for weddings and end of year parties. Choose it in the form and we will tell you what is possible for your date, some nights are easier than others.

    What about allergies, vegan or gluten free?

    All handled, and never at an extra cost. Write it in the dietary box on the form and tell us how many people each one is for, so the kitchen plans properly instead of improvising on the night.

    Can we bring our own cake?

    Of course, most birthdays do. There is a small cakeage charge for cutting and serving it, and we will put it on your quote so there are no surprises.

    Do you design the printed menus too?

    Yes, and it costs nothing extra. Once the courses are settled we lay out a menu for your day, with your names on it, and print it for the tables.

    How far ahead should we book?

    Two to three weeks is usually plenty. For a wedding, or for any date in December, the earlier the better, those go first.

    Do you take a deposit?

    We ask for a deposit to hold the date for larger events. The amount comes with your quote, and it comes off the final bill.

    What happens if we have to cancel?

    The deposit holds your date and comes off the final bill. Cancel more than 14 days before and it is refunded in full. Inside 14 days we keep it against the food already ordered. Final numbers are confirmed one week before, and that is what you are charged for.

    Where do people park?

    The Pier has parking right under the building, and the Esplanade is a two minute walk. Most guests coming from a hotel in the city centre simply walk over.

    Can you come to us instead?

    Yes, that is our pizza truck. It cooks on site anywhere in Cairns, so backyard weddings and parties at the office are no problem. There is a link at the bottom of this page.

    Still not sure? Call 07 4000 0865 and ask for one of the family.
