Reviews
"Recently held an event here for 70 people. The grazing table was PHENOMENAL!!!!!! Bar staff super friendly and professional and a wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend if you want a seamless event!"
"Read the reviews and was hesitant because of the 1 star reviews, but saw that they were 5 years ago so thought to give it a chance hoping they might have improved by now. The space is beautiful, but was lacking in ambience. There was no music, and very empty. Apart from us there was only 1 other table occupied. The French toast was very creative and delicious. Apart from that everything else was edible, but nothing to write home about. There were a few issues too, which the staff were very apologetic about. We had one plate of food missing, mould in one of our drinks, and one drink which they got the order wrong. The staff apologised and fixed up the issues, but was a bit shocking since they weren’t busy at all. Probably won’t go here again."
"I recently held my wedding reception at The Federal and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and owner of the venue. The ambience of the venue and the food was absolutely amazing - I had many guests reach out to me after the event telling me how good the food was. The owners went above and beyond opening the venue to allow event suppliers to set up equipment for the event. I would highly recommend the venue to anybody looking to host a wedding, birthday, corporate, charity event."
"The absolute BEST oat milk latte! Every time I come here the food is amazing and they have fantastic service. Highly recommend! The vegan salad is full of flavour. The falafel is the best! A must try!"
"Great food, very friendly staff. Worth while going back again."
