When planning your event, consider these questions:

I’m looking for pubs with free function rooms. Any recommendations?

It’s actually much easier than you might have thought! The key is to pick a venue that works on a minimum spend basis. You spend a set amount on ice-cold ales and delicious pub grub, and not a single dollar on the hire fee! Amazing, right?

Can I bring my own food if I hire a pub function room?

In this case, it’s always better to confirm this with the pub’s manager, as different venues have different policies. Some Sydney pubs only agree on using their internal catering and some work with approved caterers only. Don’t worry, there’s also a wide choice of pubs that are happy for you to bring your own food or work with an external caterer. Don’t be afraid to ask - communication is the key!

Do I need to clean up after the event?

Usually not, but it’s always better to ask. Some pub venues in Sydney have cleaning fees if you’re hiring their space for a private event.
