Private dining in Northcote, done properly.
Bring everyone.
Ruckers Hill has two private spaces for groups — an intimate upstairs room for up to 20 guests, and a covered back section of the restaurant for up to 40.
Whether it's a birthday dinner, a business lunch, or an end-of-year celebration, David Murphy designs the menu around your group.
The Spaces
Upstairs — up to 20 guests
Exposed brick, polished floorboards, an ornate fireplace, high rafters. Candlelight at night. The kind of room that feels like an occasion without anyone having to try.
The Back Section — up to 35–40 guests
A covered, separate section of the restaurant — private, relaxed, and well suited to larger groups who want their own space without hiring out the whole venue.
The Menus
Three-course function menu — $79 per person
A focused, generous evening. Three courses built around the kitchen's best, across 90 minutes.
Five-course tasting menu — $89 per person
The full Ruckers Hill experience. Kitchen-led, five courses, the full experience in a relaxed 2.5 hour setting.
The Beverages
Beverage package — $60 per person
Three hours of bottomless drinks, taken care of.
Includes: beer, house sparkling, house red and white wine, soft drinks.
Cocktails and spritzes are available and charged on consumption — happy to put together a list on request.
Package duration and inclusions can be discussed at enquiry stage.
Birthdays. Engagements. Business dinners. End-of-year celebrations. Corporate events. Or just because.
