Sourcing locally, thoughtfully
From farm and coastline to the club table.
We prioritise Australian producers who share our respect for land and craft – from small-batch distillers and winemakers to market gardeners and ethical growers.

Deep emerald evenings at The Turn & Table
Step inside a lush, mood-lit Australian gastro-bistro and cocktail bar where hunter-green walls, raw timber and handblown pendants frame every plate and pour. Settle into intimate alcoves, savour woodfired fare and finish the night with a quiet hand in our secluded card room.

Culinary philosophy
Regional produce, plated with intent
At the core of The Turn & Table is a devotion to regional Australian produce, bold flavours and masterful simplicity. Our kitchen sources thoughtfully from growers, fishers and farmers we know by name, balancing comfort and curiosity across every course.
Expect quietly confident plates: smoke-kissed meats, bright coastal seafood and garden-led sides, all presented with the easy glamour of a British-inspired club lounge. Each service is paced for conversation, not rush.
Seasonal menus
Local sourcing first
Woodfire & charcoal
Chef's table, the club way
A front-row seat to the grill, matched with pours from the bar.
Gather a small group at our kitchen-adjacent high table for a guided progression of seasonal plates. Our team curates a relaxed, spoken-word menu – adjusting to preferences, pairings and the tempo of your evening.
Food & drinks
Signature plates and house cocktails
Our menu shifts with the seasons – from expertly charred grill plates and generous share dishes to delicate bites designed for lingering at the bar. Every element is tuned for balance: texture, aroma and the quiet theatre of plating.
Behind the bar, our team works with Australian botanicals, classic club recipes and a focused wine list that leans into regional producers and minimal-intervention makers.
Private tournament lounge
A secluded salon for live, friendly play
Beyond the main bistro, The Turn & Table houses a refined card table lounge. Rich timber panelling, velvet seating and soft golden lighting create a discreet haven for members and guests to gather in person for relaxed weekend matches.
No screens, no distractions – just the rhythm of conversation, the shuffle of cards and attentive table service from our floor team.
- Weekend evening tables for social, face-to-face play
- Discreet drink and grazing service from the main bar
- Options for hosted private group nights
All activity is strictly in-person and social. For private tables and group formats, please connect with our team via the Contact Us page.
