Dear Guest

Thank you for your enquiry. Both our functions packages offered are popular choices and are pre-ordered.

We ask large groups to pre-order their menu selections so we can better serve you in a timely manner and cater to our other diners without constraints - enabling a more enjoyable and relaxing experience for you and your guests.

Large groups are not time pressured and are welcome to mix and mingle with their guests until closing. Therefore due to booking demands by other diners and the inability to reuse the allocated space we reserve your tables for dining guests only.

Thank you for choosing RED Dining!
We look forward to hosting you and your guests.
