BANQUETTE

At the heart of the venue lies the Espy Kitchen, a casual dining hall in the old loading bay. The transformation has seen this area become a warm and open space with full view of the open gallery kitchen, duo beer tanks, and an in-house barrel aging program (wine, gin & cocktails).

We have a range of dining and beverage packages to suit larger groups, perfect for any occasion.

Our Feed Me is a shared style menu which our Chef selects daily from the rotating seasonal hero A ‘la Carte dishes (sample menu page 7). For drinks we welcome the freedom to enjoy a cash bar or should you wish for something a little more special, we happily assist with tailoring a tab to suit your requests.
