Group Dining Menus

Big flavours. Shared plates.

Designed to bring people together. Our chefs have created seasonal set menus designed specifically for groups — with the same attention to detail and top-quality ingredients we’re known for. Choose between individually plated courses or opt for a more social, sharing-style spread that brings the fire-grilled flair to the middle of the table, including our famous sharing steaks. On Sundays, our group Roast Menu is also available, turning classic comfort food into a long, indulgent afternoon worth gathering for.
