Reviews
Lorraine's Bistro, nestled in Waverley's heritage Robin Hood Hotel, has built a strong reputation as a go-to events venue in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Customers consistently rave about the light-filled glass atrium and warm, characterful atmosphere that sets it apart from generic function spaces. The events team — especially Nikki — earns glowing praise for seamless planning, flexibility, and genuine care. From weddings and milestone birthdays to corporate lunches and kids' parties, guests repeatedly describe stress-free experiences where every detail was handled with professionalism and warmth.
We had a fantastic experience hosting a special event at Lorraine's. The event organiser Nikki was very helpful from the very first enquiry, through to the day of the event. On the night their staff were excellent, attentive and everything was taken care of for us. Food was delicious, the atmosphere was great. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you Lorraine's for helping us have such a successful and memorable event!
We recently had our wedding reception at Lorraine’s Bistro and couldn’t have asked for a better venue! What a powerhouse Nikki and her Events team are! They were flexible, welcoming, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and really brought the space to life on the day. Everything on the night ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment with our family and friends. The attention to detail was exceptional, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly as we had envisioned. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how magical it looked – you would never believe it was in a pub! The food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding, creating a truly memorable experience for everyone as we danced and partied long into the night! We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a relaxed yet gorgeous location with exceptional service for their wedding celebration. 💍✨

We recently held an event at Lorraine’s and it was an incredible night thanks to the amazing staff, food and ease at which the event was organised and put together. The venue is beautiful and works so well as a function space.
