Before you head over
Practical pointers on timing, ordering, and outdoor dining on the grounds
Arrive by noon for outdoor lawn seating
Arrive right around midday for the Sunday barbecue lunch to secure shaded seating on the grass and avoid missing out on popular grill cuts before they sell out.
Check sandwich side inclusions before adding chips
Check your meal inclusions before ordering extra sides, as lunch items like sandwiches already come accompanied by chips.
Prepare for warm outdoor conditions
Dining is open-air on the lawn and covered areas, so wear light, breathable clothing and prepare for Gold Coast humidity during warmer months.
