New Season Event Menus

In season 2025 we offer a wide range from set course feasts to delicious canapes, sure to have your guests licking their lips – whether you are hosting a cocktail celebration, a long business lunch or a unique on-field experience. Here are a few examples to tantalize your tastebuds – view the full season 2025 menus below. 

ROB’S CAPONATA

That’s Amore burrata, candied fennel, burrata crisps & tomato oil

Executive Sous Chef Robert Aparo grew up in a large Italian family. The backyard was filled with capsicum and eggplants growing in abundance, so a caponata with creamy burrata and fresh bread always featured on the dinner table. Rob would lather his bread with olive oil and then scoop up the caponata.

HIRAMASA KINGFISH

Scorched qukes, green curry & coconut dressing, curry leaves & puffed rice

Kingfish has become a staple on Melbourne restaurant menus. We wanted to feature our kingfish entrée in a way that epitomises how we plate up our dishes – clean, refined and colourful.

CHARGRILLED BEEF EYE FILLET

Crispy dauphinoise chips, King brown mushroom, caramelised onion & pepper sauce

Steak and chips a la MCG. All the comfort of the pub favourite, but on a premium level.

Refurbished Event Spaces

New this season – refreshed event rooms to suit any and all business needs: There have been off-season upgrades to various rooms in the Shane Warne stand including new carpeting, AV and decor in our Jack Ryder, Lindsay Hassett and Keith Miller rooms.

These adjoining spaces offer captivating turf views – perfect options for a unique full day conference or summit. Stay tuned! New dining options and more upgraded venues will be unveiled later in 2025.
