FAQS

Let us take the stress out of organising your next event, here’s what you need to know about our functions.

  • You’re welcome to discuss any specific dietary requirements with us, prior to your event/booking. It is at our discretion as to what can be changed. We require a minimum of 48hrs notice for set menu changes.

  • Groups of 12+ must choose from one of our Set Menu options, all attendees must participate. We do not require venue hire fees, unless you wish to book the entire venue outside of trading hours. Please get in touch and we’ll quote to your requirements.

  • We like to keep things pretty simple, we have our own tunes and cali-mexican decor (plus cowboy hats for silly moments on film). If you wish to put up balloons and streamers in your area, that is completely fine. Venue decoration, personal playlists and external entertainment are only allowed for full venue hire. No glitter, please. Our disco cowboy hat already carries all the sparkle you need to have a good time. Cleaning fee may apply if you forget.
