Please Note:

  • Most restaurants have vegetarian options, but check with them before booking
  • All restaurants must have notice (from 3-7 days) in order to close off a room. They all have rooms which suit our needs
  • Whether they will actually close off a room cannot always be guaranteed.
  • When you speak to them stress that the separate room is really important for the smooth running of our meeting (good, uninhibited conversation, ease of hearing etc...)
  • Special banquet deals and rooms to ourselves will not be available if they are busy (ie. Friday and Saturday nights)

Please let us know if you find a really good restaurant or have comments about those listed - web@sueu.org.au
