16 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 27 March, 2019 Tantalising food and stunning views entice guests to Cafe Birkenhead STUNNING waterfront views and tantalising gourmet meals are attracting dozens of newlyweds and their reception parties to Cafe Birkenhead at Sydney’s historic Birkenhead Point. The al la carte meals are prepared by a hand picked team from among Sydney’s top chefs who pride themselves on the quality of the food they select from the market as well as the culinary flair and creative presentation they put into every meal, entree and dessert. The fabulous food feast starts from the moment reception guests walk into Cafe Birkenhead through the maritime themed doorway to be served delicious canapes, sparkling vintage wines, scrumptious entrees and generous main courses before rounding off a perfect evening with an equally perfect dessert. “Children are always our special guests and our chefs have created a delightful children’s menu and an outstanding new menu for people who prefer vegetarian food or require a gluten free or other allergy sensitive selection,” your host, Manager Rebeka Toth said. Cafe Birkenhead’s large industrial style windows open onto a spectacular view of yachts clinking at their moorings on Port Jackson below and to a sweeping vista of the Balmain peninsula. “Of course the stunning views are especially popular but what I am very proud of is that we are highly commended and complimented on the excellence of the food we serve and on our friendly, respectful staff who share my own love and passion for this unique venue experience,” she said. Cafe Birkenhead is also one of Sydney’s most creative venues. Bridal parties and other special function hire groups are invited to work directly with Rebeka and her team to create an evening enhanced by a unique decor and a personalised theme. “I bring to the venue a background in project management and a strong appreciation of the importance of small, personal touches that are special, cherished and significant to each individual function and to each bridal party. “Wonderfully, this venue also lends itself to our The Cafe Birkenhead team of chefs pride themselves on the quality and excellence of their creations. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO If you think this view from Cafe Birkenhead is stunning by day, wait until your see it by moonlight ! TWT on-the-spot PHOTO Functions guests’ imagination and we recently had a function where you stepped inside to find the whole cafe decked with flowers . “We have moved far beyond the ordinary concept of a boutique wedding reception venue to create an extraordinary vintage location that retains the original stonework, complimented by timber beams and fittings to respect Birkenhead Point’s maritime history.” It is open for lunch during the day where patrons can enjoy the privacy of a waterfront table for two. “But it is at night that Cafe Birkenhead becomes an especially magical place, when we turn on the fairy lights, dim the candelabras and place tiny candles at the large industrial windows and all the more so in autumn and winter when we have a cosy, romantic log fire roaring away. “We have created a captivating heritage hide away and everyone who comes here says they love it and tell us it is a real hidden gem.” With heritage, style, sophistication, outstanding food and magnificent harbour views it is little wonder that Cafe Birkenhead enjoys a five star reputation. But unlike other five star venues it doesn’t come with an extravagant price tag. “We have kept our price affordable and our guests can exclusively hire our venue from 6pm until midnight and with car parking from only five dollars. ““Our all inclusive packages come at no extra cost, with unlimited drinks included, starting at $99 per person with a DJ included in the price.” Cafe Birkenhead seats 160 guests with a dance floor option and 200 guests without the dance floor option. The heritage aura of Cafe Birkenhead also makes it an ideal venue for the most upmarket and dignified corporate and special cultural group function. “We welcome visiting guest artists and musicians and we’ve recently hosted an authentic Serbian celebration featuring some of Sydney’s top traditional Serbian musicians.” “We are honoured to host these very significant community events and at all our events we invite guests to share their ideas, their unique, wonderful cultures and their community expectations with us .” Functions AT CAFE BIRKENHEAD This is where your event becomes a story..

Achieve Australia pioneers Paid Domestic Violence Leave for employees ACHIEVE Australia recently showcased its support for women’s rights and equality by launching a new series of programs and policies for employees on International Women’s Day. Employees now have access to Paid Domestic Violence Leave as well as the opportunity to participate in a special Women’s Network support group, which is also open to male staff champions. “We launched these initiatives in celebration of International Women’s Day because of our commitment to create a more balanced, safe and equitable workplace for all female employees across the organisation,” Acting CEO & Chief Financial Officer, Brent Pitts said. “Domestic violence affects many women and families in our community, and knowing that you have support at work is vital if you are in a crisis situation,” said Mr Pitts. “In 2019, we’ll also take active steps to become an accredited White Ribbon Workplace as part of our commitment to creating a safer and more respectful workplace and stopping violence against women,” he said. The new Women’s Network is a peer support group that will deliver special events and workshops, which are focussed around career development, wellbeing and creating worklife balance. “The program is also open to male employees who want to take part in the activities or get involved in support of their female colleagues – no one is excluded,” explained Mr Pitts. Creating a supportive and equitable workplace offers many benefits for both employees and organisations including the opportunity to: increase morale and staff engagement levels; foster individual skills and talents; develop a more inclusive workplace culture; improve health and wellbeing; and explore career aspirations. “The advantages of creating a more supportive, equitable and gender-balanced community and workforce can’t be understated, but we know that everyone has a role to play,” People, Culture & Performance Executive, Lorraine Salloum said. “As an organisation, we are taking action towards fairness, inclusion and parity for all women and it is our hope to provide even more programs such as this in the future,” said Ms Salloum. 6a Dan Street, Marsfield 4 Bed / 2.5 Bath / 1 Car SUPREME BLUE RIBBON 4 BED FAMILY RESIDENCE • Torrens Title Duplex – Express Bus, Moments to Macquarie • New Timber Flooring, Brand New Carpets, Freshly Painted • Spacious Lounge/Music Room & Modern Granite Gas Kitchen • Family/Dining Room flows to Entertainer’s Courtyard & Gardens • Master Bedroom, Walk-in-Robe, Ensuite, R/C Air-conditioning Auction: Saturday 13 April at 10.00am (If Not Sold Prior) Open for inspection: Saturdays 11am – 11.40am Janet Fletcher 0438 543 547
