Our commitment is to make your guests with these special requirements feel appreciated and well cared for. To achieve this, our chefs will either modify your chosen menu to suit or individually prepare menu alternatives. There is no additional cost for this service. Much of our menu is gluten free and we maintain strict food isolation procedures to ensure safety for any guests with dietary requirements that have serious health considerations. Do you offer menu tastings? Yes! Once you have booked at Gabbinbar Homestead we encourage you to take us up on our menu tasting offer. You and your friends/family can enjoy a lunch out tasting different items from our extensive menu. Our chef is available at these tastings to discuss your menu and at this point you are welcome to modify the food to suit your individual requirements. Can we supply our own drinks? Yes! Gabbinbar Homestead is a fully licensed venue, however our commitment to flexibility and individuality means that we encourage and embrace the option for BYO drinks. Our drinks packages give you the option of BYO alcohol. You deliver your own alcoholic beverages to Gabbinbar Homestead before your Event and we serve them to your guests. We provide service staff and the equipment you need for drinks including coldroom, ice, bar equipment, fruit (such as lemon & lime), straws, display equipment and crystal glassware. To choose to BYO alcohol this must be pre-arranged with the wedding planning team and you must have one of our drinks packages running for the duration of your Event. Otherwise, you are welcome to use our licensed bar in a number of ways including a bar tab, drinks package or cash bar for your guests. Are children allowed at Gabbinbar Homestead?
