Functions Information
CASUAL GATHERINGS
Patrons are welcome to telephone and request an area to be set aside for any casual gathering, where individuals will be purchasing their own food and drinks. There are no hire costs involved.
VENUE DEPOSIT
To secure an area exclusively for a particular date, a $200 venue deposit fee is payable.
This is refunded at the time of the payment of the food component.
If the function is cancelled after the payment of the deposit, the deposit is not refunded.
At peak times such as in November and December, the deposit is $500.
SET MENUS
A set menu can be designed for your group. Our Functions Manager can organise a menu consisting of our regular menu items or can discuss your preferences with our Head Chef to provide you with a unique menu.
All we require from you is an email detailing your requirements ie advising the date, the number of guests, the reason for the function, the food budget, any dietary restrictions, the number of courses to enquiries@osborneparkhotel.com.au and our staff will get back to you with the options we can make available to make your function a success.
We recommend you have a look at our web site for information regarding our platters and our extensive regular menu in order to gain a feel for what we do. Our Chefs prepare weekly specials in addition to our regular menu which extend the menu further.
Set menu functions must be paid for and numbers confirmed a week in advance. There is no refund following confirmation of numbers.
COCKTAIL FUNCTIONS
If you are keen to have platters circulated for the duration of the function, an additional fee of up to $50 an hour may be applicable for the services of one wait staff.
PLATTERS
The OPH prides itself on providing one of the widest selections of cocktail style food of any suburban hotel in Perth, suitable for any gathering.
Platters must be ordered and paid for a week* before the event. This is because we make most items in house and they don't all appear on our regular menu, so we're making them especially for your event.
*At peak times such as November and December, we require platters to be ordered and paid for no later than two weeks before the event.
VENUE HIRE
We do not charge a venue hire fee when an area has been set aside for guests, within The Main, which still allows for the easy flow of other traffic to the bar area.
We do not charge a hire fee for either The Main Garden - whole, west or eastern side.
The Restaurant area is available for hire anytime for a set menu function or for a platter function. On weekends there may be a minimum number of guests required for this area to be made available, however during the week this requirement does not apply.
FURNITURE REMOVAL
Events which require the removal or reconfiguration of furniture in an area, accrue a fee of $200.
SECURITY
If, in the view of the Management of the OPH, a private function warrants the presence of security, the hirer shall be responsible for the payment of the security allotted to the function by the OPH for the duration of the function and fifteen minutes before and after the last guest has left the premises.
MUSIC
In hiring The Restaurant area, it is possible to have a DJ or acoustic solo or duo act perform aslong as the performer/s are not overly loud and respond to the OPH Duty Manager's request to maintain sound levels to ensure that neighbouring sections for the hotel are not inconvenienced. The OPH is a live entertainment venue on Friday and Saturday nights in The Main.
BIRTHDAY CAKE
As long as you advise us of your intention to bring in a birthday cake prior to the function, we allow you to bring in your own cake without charge.
On this basis, however, we do require you to attend to the service of the cake, including the supply of crockery and cutlery and serviettes.
We do have a great selection of desserts in our cabinet in The Main which are all made in house, if arranging a cake is too much hassle.
DRINKS
You are able to set up a bar tab to be run for a function. All we need is for you advise us of:
- the drinks you would like included in the bar tab; and
- the maximum spend.
Our staff will advise you just before you have reached your maximum spend.
WRISTBANDS
Wrist bands are provided to you to dispense to your guests. (We charge the price we pay for these to your account, at present they are .10c each.) We are able to provide different coloured wrist bands if you wish to provide some distinguished guests with a more extensive drinks list.
PHOTOS
If you would like photos to display on one of our TV's throughout your function, we are able to insert an SD card, which we require you to supply to us, with JPEGs saved directly on it (ie not in a program such as power point as this won't work on our TV). It adds a really personal touch to an event.
There is no charge for this service.
DURATION OF FUNCTION
Last drinks are normally called at 11.40 pm. We are licensed until midnight on most nights.
Extended trading permits can be arranged for particular functions.
The costs involved in applying for such permits are the responsibility of our customer.
DECORATIONS
Helium balloons can be left with our Duty Manager on the morning of the function if that assists your planning. As can any bon bonier or non-perishables.
If you have a cake for a booked function, we can store it in our cool room for you up to a day before.
Balloons connected to weights are welcome.
You are welcome to display flowers. (Vases must not be glass.)
Please note that we don't accept:
- balloons being tied to any fixtures;
- the small shiny table decorations that are cut outs of balloons, number birthday etc and scattered;
- anything being sticky taped to painted walls.
Any decorations are required to be taken away by the hirer at the conclusion of the function.
OPH WEBSITE
We advertise school reunions organised at the OPH on our web site to provide another avenue to get the word out there.
