On-board dining

The Galley Behind the Game

A casino night runs on adrenaline; a voyage runs on the kitchen. Our chefs write a different menu for every format, from rail-side classics served mid-hand to degustation dinners that make non-players feel like the point of the trip.

Chef's word

"Feed the game, don't interrupt it."

That is the brief every menu answers to. Table food has to arrive quietly, eat cleanly and disappear between hands. So the rail menu is built around things you can eat with one hand while the other keeps cards.

The dining rooms are a different conversation. Long voyages get degustation dinners paced to the tournament schedule, plated for the evenings when nobody is playing. Western Australian produce drives the list because the coast is right outside the window.

Everything is cooked aboard. If a dish cannot survive a galley that occasionally tilts, it does not make the menu.

The cards

Wine & cocktail lists

The cellar leans West Australian: Margaret River chardonnay and cabernet, Great Southern riesling and shiraz, plus a reserve page for the salon. The cocktail list is written per season and rewritten per theme.

The voyage list

Sixty labels across four WA regions, eight by the glass, rotated each season.

The seasonal cocktails

A twelve-drink card rebuilt every season, plus a bespoke serve for themed nights.

The reserve page

Allocated bottles for the salon and for guests marking a win properly.

The zero-proof card

A designed non-alcoholic list, not a soft-drink afterthought: shrubs, infusions, zero-ABV serves.

The reserve cellar

"A table drink should survive an hour untouched. A celebration drink should not. We write the list so each arrives at the right hour."

Catering beyond the dining room

Salon dining

The private salon keeps its own service window: plates sized for the table, reserve pours and a dedicated server who knows when to be invisible.

Working sessions

Corporate daytime formats get real catering, not function-room sandwiches: barista station, working lunch boards and a proper afternoon break.

Deck & tender service

Port days carry the kitchen ashore: hampers for the beach, hosted barbecue lunches and the coolbox that makes a Rottnest afternoon.

Dining questions

Asked at the table

Full FAQ
How are dietary requirements handled?
Requirements are collected at booking and go to the galley with the manifest. Degustation guests get a rewritten menu rather than substitutions, and severe allergies are confirmed with the chef directly before sailing.
Is food included in event pricing?
Every package names its catering level. The rail menu is included in gaming formats; degustation and premium bar are add-ons listed in the quote.
Can we bring our own cake or catering?
Celebration cakes from a licensed kitchen are welcome with notice. Other outside catering is limited by the vessel's food safety rules; the galley can usually recreate what you had in mind.
What about alcohol for non-drinkers?
The zero-proof card is a designed list: shrubs, infusions, zero-ABV spirits and proper coffee. Nobody gets offered a lemonade and a shrug.
