Hunter & Barrel Ringwood Function Menu
There’s no shortage of function rooms in Melbourne and Ringwood to choose from. But at Hunter & Barrel, we make communal dining a delight with set menus that have been carefully hunted and gathered to deliver the perfect feast.
Whether you’re hosting a relaxed stand-up event or a more formal sit-down dinner, our function menus can be tailored to suit your requirements. Each menu features favourites like juicy beef sirloin, crispy pork belly and coal-smoked chicken skewers alongside hand-picked seasonal sides and salads. Optional beverage packs are also available and feature a selection of wines, beers, soft drinks and juices.
Host your event at our Ringwood function room & restaurant, and you and your guests will enjoy the theatre of the Hunter & Barrel experience as you hear the crackle from the fire, smell the slow-cooked meat and see the glowing stacks of coal by the pit.

Barrels of Christmas Joy
We might not have chestnuts roasting on an open fire but we do have flame grilled meat, which is just as delicious, if not moreso. If you’re looking to throw a Christmas party why not choose a beautiful, air-conditioned venue over your Aunt’s boiling backyard? Christmas should be a joyous occasion for all, but there’s little that’s happy about a cramped house on some of the hottest days of the year. Come to Hunter and Barrel for open spaces that can suit parties of any size, and a wonderful loft area, all with amazing food and wonderful atmosphere.
Birthday Venue Unlike Any Other
Our stylish settings and incredible food distinguish us from any other birthday venue. We know that a 21st birthday is a huge milestone, and our venue will cap it off with class, elegance, and a glorious ambience. Forget about the standard pizza-and-cake deal, and make your special day truly breathtaking with us.
The Corporate Events Venue that will Seal the Deal
A company party is great for improving relations and morale among co-workers. Celebrating new business deals or opportunities is a great way to reward staff for their hard work and blow off steam. Mergers can be made friendlier by having an introductory party. But all of these things will fall short if the venue isn’t good. No one wants to be sitting on uncomfortable seats, standing in a cramped room, with mediocre food and dingy surroundings. Come to Hunter & Barrel, where we blend and amazing setting, with great food, spacious environment, and beautiful decor.
