Venue Hire & Catering
Host your event with us!
Fun times are brewing…
The Co-op has a wonderful space (capacity 65), a commercial kitchen and a delicious chai recipe. We are licensed to serve (and keep in stock) a range of locally brewed beers, and one of our wonderful cooks can cater any type of function. If you’re looking to do a staff party, a small wedding, an album launch or a family function, consider booking it through the co-op! Email events@cbrfoodcoop.org.au for more information.
Space hire
The Co-op is available as a venue for hire. Our space can be transformed to suit your meeting, party, music event, film night or workshop needs. We have audiovisual equipment for hire including microphones, amplifier and sound system, and a projector. We would love to provide catering for your event at the Co-op – check out our catering options below.
Kitchen hire
Our kitchen is unavailable for hire to new clients until further notice. We plan to make it available once again in the future.
Our kitchen is available to hire and includes a four-burner gas stove, large oven, ample sinks, dish sanitising machine and plenty of bench space. For kitchen workshops, we recommend no more than eight people in the kitchen at once because it can get a bit crowded. Please note that only vegetarian food can be prepared in our kitchen.
