Food & Beverage

At Eventfinda Stadium we work hard to deliver an outstanding catering experience, we know that for your guests and ours we want the best experience possible. 

We don’t accept that because it’s a stadium the food must be poor quality. To achieve this all catering and distribution of food and beverage in the venue is under the exclusive control of the venue.

Where you have sponsors intending to give out food samples or have specific catering requirements, please discuss these with your Event Coordinator as soon as possible to avoid disappointment on the day.

Please also make yourself aware of our sustainability initiatives as these are heavily connected to the Catering and Food & Beverage services within the venue.

Catering for corporate events and banquets is also provided exclusively by the venue but should be discussed with your Event Coordinator at the time of booking to ensure the best experience.

Sponsored Alcohol is permitted within our venue from time to time but must be discussed with your Event Coordinator at least 16 weeks prior to your event.

A key component of any healthy community is having places for people to come together with like-minded individuals and have experiences which leave a lasting impression on them. Eventfinda Stadium is 100% dedicated to creating these memorable moments and providing more frequent and varied opportunities for the community to come together.
