As we head into the peak of the social season, the Dining Rewards Club Team has been reviewing the most sought-after spaces across our portfolio. Whether it is a high-stakes corporate closing, a significant family milestone, or an intimate end-of-year celebration, our private dining collection offers a sanctuary of “sensory architecture” and bespoke service.
The Historic Sanctuary: 6HEAD Sydney and Perth
At 6HEAD, private dining is an extension of the “Six of the Best” philosophy, offering spaces that are as technically impressive as the menu. In Sydney rooms, like the Walsh Room (up to 12 guests) are housed within the 19th-century sandstone of Campbell’s Stores, offering a raw, historic atmosphere that feels completely removed from the city’s hustle. Across the country in Perth, the private rooms at Elizabeth Quay utilise soaring glass and urban views to create a sense of “status” and momentum that is perfect for executive lunches. Unlike many venues, 6HEAD guests in these spaces enjoy a bespoke experience where the culinary journey is never compromised by the size of the group, often choosing between curated set menus or a tailored à la carte selection.
The Polished Executive: The Meat & Wine Co
The Meat & Wine Co has perfected the balance between heritage-inspired design and contemporary professional dining. The Barangaroo location is a standout for hosting, featuring five distinct private dining rooms/spaces that cater to various group sizes, all reflecting the brand’s signature warm, woven-texture aesthetic. This national network extends from the intimate nooks in Adelaide and Canberra to the grander heritage rooms in Perth, all designed for seamless hosting where the service is attentive yet stays “behind the scenes”. The aim in these rooms is to ensure you are able to focus entirely on your guests while the team manage the timing of the meal and attends to you and your guests’ needs.
The Hearth-Side Collective: Hunter & Barrel
If your event calls for a more rugged, communal energy, the private spaces at Hunter & Barrel capture the “Better by Fire” Spirit in a more exclusive setting. Spaces in venues like Parramatta or Eastland allow groups to enjoy their celebration in a “hunter’s sanctuary” style approach. These spaces are the ideal setting for a shared feast, where the passing of boards and the exchange of stories become the focal point of the evening. Even in this private setting, the focus remains on the barrel-aged cocktails, seasonal harvest of ingredients, signature cuts of meat and ensuring a grounded and memorable experience for all guests.
The Member Advantage: The “Gold Invitation”
Hosting a private event is perhaps one of the most strategic ways for Dining Rewards Club members to maximize their benefits before the year ends. Because these bookings often involve a higher group spend, they serve as a form of “fast track” to the Gold tier, as a single private dinner can often satisfy the annual spend requirement in one night, depending on venue and group size. Once you hit Gold Status, hosting an event means earning Cashback on the entire bill – including premium wine pairings and set menus.
Private rooms are the first to book out for December, so we recommend enquiring about availability now.
