A little bit classic. A little bit extra. Just how we like it.

Our Chicken Caesar Salad has entered the chat, and frankly, she's dressed to impress.

Grilled chicken, crispy panko crumbs, bacon, a soft-boiled egg, cos lettuce and Parmesan.

She's got crunch. She's got character. She's got absolutely no business being this good.

Darling, the silly season is afoot. Best keep your wits about you. Or at least your wallet.

Enter: Silly Season Sips.

$9 Peroni Red bottles
$17 Mango Daiquiris
$17 Strawberry Daiquiris

All November long at Natural History.

A salad with a little personality.

Our Tofu Larb Salad brings together glass noodles, Asian herbs, crisp cos lettuce, crispy shallots and a chilli-lime dressing with just enough attitude.

Fresh. Herby. A little spicy.

December is getting alarmingly close, which means your Christmas party is currently one of three things:

A) Organised
B) “We're looking into it”
C) An email someone will definitely send “next week”

If you're sitting comfortably in C, hello.

Natural History has spaces for team lunches, cocktail parties, end-of-year celebrations and full office blowouts, with food, drinks and enough atmosphere to make your workmates temporarily tolerable.

Get your function sorted before December sorts it for you.

28/10/2026

Some people want a salad for lunch. We don't know those people.

Our 180g Wagyu Beef Burger comes with Cajun bacon, American cheese, cos, onion, pickles, house burger sauce and chips.

It's handsome, it's juicy, it's a little naughty (we're still talking about the burger, right?)

26/10/2026

You know that completely useless fact you've been carrying around for 14 years?
This is your moment.

FREE PUB TRIVIA — EVERY WEDNESDAY FROM 6:30PM.

Pop culture. General knowledge. Music. Sport. Spot prizes. Bragging rights.

Come with the smartest people you know (or the people who think they're the smartest.)

Book a spot today.

Your office Christmas party could be another beige function room - or it could be this.

Old-world interiors. Dramatic dioramas. Cocktails. Big flavours. Cold drinks.

And enough room for Karen from Finance to finally reveal what she really thinks about Dave.

From intimate team lunches to full-venue celebrations, we've got spaces for groups from 12 to 400.

December is coming. Your excuse is running out. Enquire about your end-of-year function.

21/10/2026

The clock strikes 4:30 and suddenly, replying to emails feels deeply inappropriate.

Happy Hour runs daily from 4:30–6:30pm.

$9 wines.
$10 spirits.
$11.90 pints.

Come for one, stay because someone said, “Should we get another?” (We support this behaviour.)

19/10/2026

We appear to have developed a Margarita problem - the good news is, we're not particularly interested in solving it.

$17 Margaritas all October, including Tropical, Spicy and Tommy's.

Come find your favourite (or don't, we rather like watching you work your way through all three.)

16/10/2026

Our hand-crafted diorama stretches across the venue, packed with curious characters, unexpected details and plenty to discover between drinks.

Have a proper look next time you're in. You might spot something you missed last time.

14/10/2026

Our 250g O'Connor Grass Fed Porterhouse with triple cooked hand-cut potatoes, spiced sea salt and salad of wild rocket, pickles, sherry vinaigrette 😘

12/10/2026

You don't need to know everything. Just enough to win trivia.

Free Pub Trivia every Wednesday from 6pm.

07/10/2026

Roasted spiced cauliflower with chickpea puree, pesto, sautéed spinach, soft herb & pickled red onion salad 😘

21/09/2026

A proper porterhouse. Crispy chips. Absolute perfection.

Every Tuesday, we’re serving up porterhouse & chips for $27.

Because Tuesdays deserve better than whatever sad little lunch you were planning.
