Full Policy

  1. Barossa Bowland operates a full kitchen and café onsite. To ensure fairness for all guests and to support our kitchen operations, outside food and drinks are not permitted within the venue.

  2. This includes takeaway food, packed lunches, picnic food, supermarket purchases, birthday cakes, party food and lolly bags.

  3. Personal water bottles are welcome.

  4. We offer a range of food options onsite and are often able to accommodate dietary requirements. If you or your group have specific dietary needs that you believe we may not be able to cater for, please contact us at least 48 hours prior to your visit so we can discuss available options.

  5. This notice allows our team time to plan ahead and, where required, source additional ingredients so we can safely accommodate your needs.

  6. In circumstances where Barossa Bowland is unable to reasonably provide a suitable alternative for a genuine or highly specialised dietary requirement, management may grant permission for outside food to be brought into the venue. Our kitchen is able to accommodate most common dietary needs, including gluten-free options, so this provision is intended for unusual or medically necessary requirements rather than personal preferences or brand-specific foods. Any such permission must be discussed with and approved by management prior to arrival.

  7. Visitors requiring specialised feeding arrangements, such as a pureed diet or PEG feeding, are permitted to bring the necessary food where a visit must occur during meal times. In these situations, management must be advised in advance so that our team can be informed that the arrangement has been approved.

  8. Visitors should not bring outside food to the venue unless this has been discussed and approved in advance.

  9. Please note that if prior notice is not provided, we are unable to make exceptions on the day.

  10. If our menu does not suit your needs, you are welcome to enjoy a meal elsewhere before or after your visit.

  11. Groups arriving with outside food may be asked to remove it from the venue or return at another time.

  12. For organised visits, group organisers are responsible for ensuring their participants are aware of and comply with this policy prior to arrival.

  13. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a fair and enjoyable environment for all guests.

  14. Barossa Bowland reserves the right to enforce this policy to ensure fairness for all guests and to support our staff in applying venue policies.
