Sure! There is no food requirement for any child in a highchair, if a child requires a normal seat & under the age of 12, we offer a reduced volume banquet for $65. Anyone over the age of 12 is required to partake in our chef’s set menu.
We only have one highchair available, so please let us know if you need one when you book.
Our venue is a very old and a very small shed, so for safety reasons we don’t allow children under 12 in the second sitting for dinner.
Due to our size, we can not accommodate prams inside.
You’ll find us at 24 Old Coach Rd, Aldinga, approximately 50m north of the Pub on the eastern side next to Goodness Coffee Co.
