The Rose & Crown Pub, South Bank

Why is The Rose & Crown Pub the ideal venue to hold a 40th Birthday party?
Hitting 40 is a major milestone that deserves a spectacular celebration, and The Rose & Crown pub in South Bank is the ideal setting for it. We provide a lively and welcoming environment paired with high-quality food and drink to make your night special. Plus, we don’t charge any room hire fees.

Which room at The Rose & Crown Pub is best suited for a 40th birthday party?
We have several distinct spaces available depending on the size and style of your birthday event.
The LONG ROOM is perfect for mid-sized groups and sits right next to our upstairs bar. It can accommodate 45 guests for cocktails or 30 for a seated dinner.

Wanting something outdoors but still under cover?
If you prefer an outdoor vibe, the ROSE TERRACE is a covered space on our upper level. It holds up to 80 people standing or 50 seated.

For a massive 40th birthday celebration, you can hire the entire SECOND FLOOR, giving you private bar access and room for 160 standing guests or 90 seated.

Are your function rooms accessible?
All of our spaces are fully accessible, with wheelchair access provided via an internal lift and amenities located close by.

Do you charge a room hire fee?
No we don’t charge a room hire fee.
This is a reason so many choose to book their function with us! We make it easy, affordable and enjoyable from the time you book to the end of the event.

Is there a minimum spend requirement?
No minimum spend either. We make planning your event as easy and flexible as can be.

What food packages do you offer at The Rose & Crown and can they be customised?
We offer a wide selection of food packages, including platters, finger foods to more substantial meal choices. If you’re looking for something more bespoke, we can do that too. Just ask us and we can work out a menu together.

Is it possible to hold a seated event at The Rose & Crown?
Absolutely. For a more formal 40th, we can arrange a sit-down meal with a customised menu. Our chef has extensive experience catering for parties big and small.

Do you cater to dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or allergies?
Yes, we do. Just let us know your requirements in advance and we’ll make sure everyone is looked after.

If I do finger foods, do staff take them around the party or are they left at a table for people to help themselves?
We can do both. Our team can circulate the food for a more social feel, or we can set it up on a table for guests to graze – whatever suits your party style.

Can I bring a cake and do you charge a cake-cutting fee?
You are welcome to bring a celebratory cake. Please inform us in advance so we can prepare the plates and utensils. Note that a small cake-cutting fee will apply for this service.

What are the beverage packages you offer for a 40th birthday party?
We offer flexible solutions: bar tabs, comprehensive drink packages, or a combination of the two. When we discuss your birthday plans we will let you know all the beverage options available.

What is your policy on music and entertainment? Can we bring a DJ or band? Or play our own Spotify playlist?
We encourage creating the perfect mood for your celebration. You are welcome to use your own Spotify playlist, and we are happy to discuss options if you wish to hire a live band or DJ.

Can we bring our own decorations and are there any restrictions?
You may bring your own decorations, but we request that they are simple and non-damaging to the venue. Our team can advise on the best way to set them up.

What information do you need from me?
We’ll just need a few key details:
– budget,
– guest numbers,
– timing (especially arrival time),
– food choices,
– bar tab or drinks package,
– when you’d like to come in to decorate, and
– the birthday person’s name so we can help direct guests on the day.

Will we have a dedicated event coordinator?
Yes. We want your work event to run smoothly so there will be a staff member available to help you throughout the function.

Do you have audio equipment for speeches?
Yes, we can organise audio equipment so you can make those all-important birthday speeches loud and clear.

Is there Wi-Fi we can use?
Yes, you can log in to our Wi-Fi if needed.

What do you recommend for getting to The Rose & Crown?
The train to South Bank Station is the easiest option as it’s less than two minutes away. There are also nearby car parks, street parking and the South Bank Ferry terminal. Multiple travel options make us an ideal function space location!

When should I book?
The earlier the better – our function spaces are popular, so locking in your date a few months in advance gives you the best choice of spaces.

When do I need to lock in final details?
A week before your event, we’ll need your final numbers and food and drink choices locked in.

What deposit is required to secure the booking?
We require a $500 deposit to confirm your booking, and this amount comes off your final bill.

What is the cancellation policy?
To receive a full refund of your deposit, cancellations must be made no later than 2 weeks before your event.
