Engagement Parties at
The Rose & Crown Pub, South Bank

Why is The Rose & Crown Pub the dream space for your engagement party?
We offer a vibrant, stylish and welcoming atmosphere where you can toast to your future with your absolute favourite people. And the bonus – we don’t charge for room hire!

Which room at The Rose & Crown Pub is best suited for an engagement party?
Every couple has their own vibe, so we’ve got a variety of gorgeous private and semi-private spaces to match yours perfectly.

Perfect for intimate gatherings, our LONG ROOM space is adjacent to the upstairs bar. It can host 45 guests for a cocktail reception or accommodate 30 people for a seated dinner across multiple tables.

Wanting something outdoors but still under cover?
The ROSE TERRACE would be ideal. This stylish, covered outdoor area wraps around the upper level and is a more relaxed option. It can host up to 80 guests standing (cocktail style) or 50 guests seated.

For a big celebration, reserving the entire SECOND FLOOR includes exclusive use of the bar. The capacity is up to 160 guests cocktail style, or 90 guests 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 parties 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.

Can we do a site inspection before booking?
Absolutely. Email or call our Functions manager to arrange a time to come and see our spaces and discuss your event.

What food packages do you offer and can they be customised?
From delicious light bites to hearty, crowd-pleasing favourites, our food packages are designed to delight. Every package is also fully customisable to suit your taste and budget perfectly. We are completely open to working with you to make your event something special.

Do you cater to dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or allergies?
Absolutely. We’re experts at accommodating vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and all major allergy requirements. Just give us a heads-up, and our chef will ensure every guest has a fantastic meal.

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. Finger foods can be circulated by staff to encourage mingling, or we can set them up at a designated table for a casual grazing experience.

Can we host a more formal seated event?
Of course! If a sit-down meal is more your style for your engagement celebration, we’d love to set that up for you in any of our beautiful function spaces.

Can we bring a celebratory engagement cake?
We’d love for you to bring a cake! Just let us know in advance so we can have everything ready for the big reveal. Please note a small cake-cutting fee applies.

What are the beverage package options and what’s best for an engagement party?
We offer plenty of flexibility: set up a bar tab, choose a curated drink package, or do a bit of both! A bar tab is a fantastic way to get the party started and ensure your guests feel truly celebrated from the moment they arrive.

What is your policy on music and entertainment? Can we bring a DJ or band? Or play our own Spotify playlist?
It’s your party! You are more than welcome to hook up your own Spotify playlist to set the mood. If you’re thinking about a live band or a DJ to really get the dance floor moving, we’ll try and make it happen.

What information do you need from me?
We’ll just need a few key details:
– budget,
– guest numbers,
– timing (especially arrival time),
– food choices,
– drink package,
– the couples names 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 provide the necessary audio equipment to ensure everyone hears those important words clearly for toasts or speeches.

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

How do people get to The Rose & Crown?
Transport is straightforward. We highly recommend guests take the train to South Bank Station, which is situated on our level and is less than a two-minute walk away. Convenient car parks and paid street parking are also available nearby. The South Bank Ferry terminal is close by. It’s easy to get to us, ensuring your guests will arrive stress-free and ready to celebrate!

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.

When you’re ready to book or have some more questions, please contact our Functions Manager on: functions@roseandcrownpub.com.au or call (07) 3518 3400.
