The Church Room — the 1850 nave, set for a private celebration beneath its vaulted timber ceiling
Private Events

Your event, in a room with history.

Three spaces, ten to a hundred guests, and Italian food cooked in the same kitchen that feeds Main Street every night. One coordinator handles the rest.

(01) The Spaces

Pick the room, and the evening follows.

Every space is climate-controlled and fully staffed. Choose one below to see how it works.

(02) Pricing

Built around your table.

Plated dinners, family style down the middle of the table, brunch stations and bar packages — shaped around your guests rather than picked off a list.

The food

Everything is cooked in our own kitchen. Plated or family style, three courses or five, brunch stations for daytime events — with vegetarian and allergy-aware options throughout.

Current menus and per-person pricing are sent through on request, so you always get the season’s version rather than something out of date.

Bar

Run a tab and pay for what your guests drink, or take a per-person package covering beer, wine and spirits for the length of the event.

Wine can also be bought by the bottle for the table. Anthony will talk you through which works out better for your headcount.

Getting a quote

Send your date, rough headcount and the occasion. You’ll get the current menus and a clear per-person price back, usually the same day.

All pricing is before tax and 20% gratuity, and is confirmed in writing no later than one week before the event. A non-refundable $200 booking fee secures the date and space, paid by secure link once we confirm availability. It is not applied toward the final bill and stands in place of the separate room, deposit and maître d’ fees usually charged for private events.

(03) What’s Included

Nothing you have to arrange twice.

The things other venues quote separately are simply part of hosting here. What isn’t included is listed too — you shouldn’t find out on the night.

Cold antipasto board — cured meats, burrata, olives and roasted peppers
