Functions and events
Your people, your day, a table full of food.
Weddings, birthdays, baby showers, farewells, corporate lunches and wakes. The Growers by Ponte hosts groups from 20 to 350 across the dining room, the veranda and the lawn, with menus built around your occasion.
How it works
From your first email to the day itself.
Four steps, and no mystery about what happens after you get in touch.
Tell us what you are planning
Numbers, a date, and the kind of day you have in mind. Our functions manager picks it up from there.
Choose your style
A stand-up cocktail party on canapes, a two or three course sit-down, or a Brazilian BBQ feast.
Pick the format
Canapes standing, a sit-down two or three courses, or a Brazilian BBQ feast, with separate teens and kids menus.
Confirm it
We send the Group Booking Form to lock the date in. Large groups may carry a small preauthorisation, a holding fee only, released once you are seated.
Can you host
Yes, we can probably do that.
The occasions people ask us about most, and how each one tends to run: which space it suits, roughly what size it works at and how the food is served.
Which space suits our event?
There are three, and they work on their own or together. The garden and lawn take stand-up cocktail parties, ceremonies and long lunches, with umbrellas by day and festoon lights at night. The veranda is covered and wet-weather friendly, which makes it the default for sit-down dinners and receptions. The dining room and bar is quieter and more intimate, and sits right beside the wine wall.
What functions can I hold here?
Most things, and often several at once. The ones people ask for most:
- Weddings. Ceremony on the lawn, drinks and photos in the garden, then dinner under the covered veranda so the weather does not get a say.
- Engagement parties and baby showers. Stand-up canapes in the garden, or a long table on the veranda.
- Birthdays and milestones.
- Farewells.
- Long lunches on the lawn.
- Corporate lunches, client dinners, Christmas parties and off-sites. There is a page for it: corporate events.
- Wakes. Calm indoor and outdoor areas, ample parking and their own canape and finger sandwich package. There is a page for it: wakes.
If yours is not on the list, ask. It is usually a yes.
Can we take the whole venue?
Yes. Take the garden and lawn, the veranda, or the dining room and bar on their own, or all three together for a bigger event. Venue hire has the detail on each.
How does the food work for a group?
Three ways, and you pick one. Stand-up canapes for 20 or more adults, a two or three course sit-down which becomes compulsory for larger groups, or a Brazilian BBQ feast for 30 or more where the meats are carved at your table and the salads and dessert come from a buffet.
Can you cater for children at a function?
Yes. There is a two-course kids' menu for 3 to 11 year olds and a two-course teen menu for 12 to 17 year olds, plus a fenced playground in view of the veranda.
Can we book midweek?
Wednesday to Saturday at any time. Monday and Tuesday are possible too, depending on how big the group is, so it is worth asking.
