Thank you for considering the Railway for your function. Over the years we have helped thousands of people celebrate birthdays, engagements, farewells, weddings, office Christmas parties, anniversaries and even the odd wake! We have an exclusive use area popular with small groups (up to 40) and for larger groups we have the capacity to section off various areas of the hotel. Further down the page are the platters that we can provide. Each platter is made in house by our kitchen brigade and comprises bite size pieces, attractively presented with accompanying cocktail napkins. Where appropriate, platters are served with a dipping sauce that compliments the items. We are often asked how many people a platter will cater for. This is a very difficult question to answer, however our experience has shown that one platter is often sufficient to provide a snack for between 10 and 15 people ie. around two or three items per person. All platter items are prepared, to order, on the premises. Accordingly, it is important that you give us, at least, one weeks notice. We require full payment, in advance, and this will secure your booking, as we do not charge a room hire fee at the Railway. If you have any questions regarding your function, please do not hesitate to email Phil at phil@railwaypub.com or call Phil on 0412 360 120.
