Ochre for my mum’s 70th event

Had the best private dining experience at Ochre for my mum’s 70th. Food and wine was gorgeous, the room was great with some nice decor included as standard, and the service from Mathan was truly outstanding. So organised and proactive, and as someone who works in hospitality, I know a pro when I see one! Highly recommend for private dining.

Thank you to the Ochre team for an outstanding din

We had the absolute pleasure of having lunch at Ochre, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and truly brilliant. A special shout-out to Frankie and the entire team for making our experience so memorable. The food was an absolute delight—every dish was crafted to perfection with fresh, vibrant flavours that exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a special meal.

Happy couple married in September

Our wonderful wedding reception at Ochre

We hosted our wedding reception in Ochre’s private dining room in September, and had the most wonderful time. The service was exceptional, special thanks to our waiter Gabriel who went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy. The food was exceptional, and our guests were all blown away by their meals, especially the Beef Wellington and mushroom soup, they were the firm favourites. They also finished our meal with a personalised coffee, with our own photo on it from the day. Alycia, our Event Manager was a pleasure to work with, and put everything into place behind the scenes. The decor in the private dining room is beautiful, and perfect for photos. Could not recommend enough! Thank you team.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A favourite experiences at a wedding dinner at Ochre Restaurant is when the couple requests a floral arrangement that reflects their love story.

Each flower is carefully chosen to compliment the couple’s chosen colour palette and wedding theme.
