THE TAVERN

The Tavern itself has multiple Dining areas catering for both small and large groups (up to 80 seated or 120 casuals).

A welcoming bar greets the guests as they make their way to the Lounge/Formal Dining area or the Function area, including a magnificent space of a Rear Courtyard/Beer Garden.

A mixture of reverse cycle, open fires and gas log fires keeps everybody comfortable whilst they sample Local Wines or feast on the great reputation of fine food and Woodfired Pizzas offered.

An extremely well-planned, clean, Commercial Kitchen is complimented with Stainless Steel Benches, Double Fryer, Commercial Combo Oven, Commercial Grill Plate, and a new Dishwasher and also by a Woodfired Pizza Oven situated in the Function area. There are too many storage options to mention, but they are very adequate.

The RWT has become the GO TO Place for Celebrations such as Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Reunions and any other function is catered adequately for.
