The long table

Lunch under the robinias

The row of mop-top robinias throws dappled shade across a long table for around fifty. Bring your caterer, or ask us for local favourites, and let the afternoon stretch.

Garden club lunches, charity fundraisers, church breakfasts and family reunions are all very welcome.

FAQ

Questions we’re asked

How much does a garden lunch at Roseville cost?

For over 30 guests, venue hire starts from $5,000, including the venue and bathroom facilities. Smaller events and parties are quoted accordingly — often as a per-person price together with our caterers. Tell us your numbers and date and we’ll send a quote.

Do you provide catering?

Roseville is venue hire. Bring your own caterer or choose from our list of local caterers.

Can we hold our event on a weekday?

Yes — weekdays suit most local groups and they’re often the loveliest days in the garden. Ask about midweek dates when you enquire.

Is Roseville accessible for older guests?

Yes. Parking is within 50 metres of the marquee, there’s flat wheelchair access from the driveway to the marquee, and there’s an accessible bathroom in the house. The sunken garden has uneven steps and rockeries, so it isn’t wheelchair friendly. Tell us about any needs and we’ll plan around them.

What happens if the weather turns?

Cover can be arranged for the whole group. Depending on the size of your event, we’ll talk through a wet-weather plan in more detail when you enquire or visit.

Do you host 21sts or bucks and hens nights?

No. Roseville is a family home and a quiet garden, so we don’t host 21sts, bucks or hens nights, or anything rowdy.
