Group Dining

Planning a meal for a sporting team, conference, school group, wedding party or family reunion?

In Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Woolgoolga and other towns and villages across the Coffs Coast, you’ll find restaurants, pubs, clubs, resorts and breweries that welcome group bookings, with some venues able to host up to 250 people. Many offer private or semi-private spaces, set menus and flexible dining for larger parties.

WHAT TO HAVE READY WHEN You Book

Venues can look after you best if you book ahead and tell them your group size, preferred date and time, any dietary or accessibility needs, whether children are coming, whether you need a private space, and whether guests will pay separately.

Many venues appreciate as much notice as possible, particularly during school holidays, long weekends and major events.

BOOK EARLY DURING PEAK PERIODS

Popular venues can book out weeks ahead during school holidays, long weekends and major events [add link to what’s on page]. If you’re travelling with a group, lock in your bookings before you arrive.
