The place to party: The Elmwood

As the horses are gearing up to race down the tracks at the Melbourne and New Zealand Cups, so, too, are the team at The Elmwood Trading Company gearing up for the grand gallop to Christmas.

Melbourne Cup Day will see a frenzy of activities happening, with everything from sweepstakes, a full TAB facility, prizes for the best dressed, and complimentary nibbles.

For our own fabulous New Zealand Cup Week, meet friends for drinks before heading out to a Cup Week event, or even better, stay out of the sun and have the coolest time, watching all the action on the bar’s big screens.

Christmas is just around the corner, so now is the time to book your lunch or dinner function.

The food comes from Trevinos top chef who made the move to The Elmwood with former Trevinos owners, Marty and Naomi Fuller.

With dining options of à-la-carte, set menu, buffet, or drinks and nibbles, and space options of the private room, al fresco, bar or restaurant, there’s plenty of scope to plan the best party.

As Marty says, “We’ve great locals, we’ve a great vibe, and the food’s fantastic!”
