Terms & Conditions

These terms cover how you use the Lunas Petersham website and how we work together when you dine with us or hold an event in our courtyard. By using our website, sending an event enquiry, or confirming a booking with us, you agree to what is set out below. Throughout this document, “Lunas”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Lunas Petersham and the business that operates the venue.

1. Who we are

Lunas Petersham is a Portuguese-inspired restaurant at 316 Stanmore Road, Petersham NSW 2049, on the corner of Arthur Street. You can reach us on 0403 600 712 or at lunaspetersham@gmail.com.

Legal business name and ABN: [to be completed by Lunas]

2. Dining with us

Lunas is a walk-in restaurant for everyday dining — we don’t take reservations for breakfast, lunch or regular dinner service, so tables are first-come, first-served. Breakfast and lunch run daily, with dinner from Thursday to Sunday; our current hours are on the website and may shift with the seasons.

Planning something for a larger group or a special occasion? That’s where our events come in. Have a look at the sections below, or send us an enquiry and we’ll take it from there.

3. Events & private functions

We host private and semi-private events in our courtyard, and indoors when you book the whole venue. A few things worth knowing up front:

• The courtyard seats up to 50 guests, or around 70–80 standing for a cocktail-style event.
• Lunch events run from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, and dinner events from 5:30pm.
• Daytime private functions have a minimum of 30 guests; evening events a minimum of 35.
• Groups of more than 12 guests dine from a set menu, with grazing and other event menus also available.
• We’re happy to cater for most dietary requirements when you let us know in advance.

Availability, menus, pricing and inclusions can vary, and your event is only locked in once we’ve accepted it and received your deposit.

4. Confirming your event: deposit & payment

To hold your date, we ask for a deposit and your agreement to the booking conditions below. Until your deposit reaches us, the date stays open and another party may book it.

• A $300 deposit secures your event date, paid by bank transfer to the account below.
• The deposit is fully refundable if you need to cancel, for any reason, up to 10 days before your event.
• Your $300 is credited back to you and comes off your final bill.
• The final bill includes a 10% service charge.
• Card payments incur a 1.35% surcharge.
• Evening events also include a $500 venue hire fee.
• We’ll treat the date as available — and another customer may book it — until your deposit has been received.
• Receiving your deposit is how we confirm that you’ve read and agreed to these terms.

Your final bill is settled on the day of the event unless we’ve agreed otherwise in writing. Prices shown on our website and in our packages can change, and your final cost depends on your menu, guest numbers and any extras you choose.

5. Final guest numbers

We’ll need your final guest numbers at least 10 days before the event. That figure is what we cater and charge to, so changes after the deadline can’t always be accommodated.

6. Food, allergies & dietary requirements

Let us know about any allergies or dietary needs at least 10 days ahead and we’ll do our best to look after everyone. Our kitchen handles a wide range of ingredients and allergens in a shared space, so while we take real care, we can’t promise a completely allergen-free environment. If someone in your party has a serious allergy, please talk to us before confirming so we can work out what’s possible.

7. Menus

Event menus and packages depend on availability and may change. Now and then we’ll swap a dish or an ingredient because of the season or what our suppliers have on the day, so if a particular item matters to your event, confirm it with us before booking.

8. Drinks & BYO

We offer drinks packages for events, and you’re welcome to BYO wine for a $10 per person corkage fee, charged across the whole party. All alcohol is served in line with NSW responsible-service-of-alcohol laws, and we may decline service where the law requires it.

9. Cakes

Cakes from our partner Sweet Belem can be arranged for your event with no cakeage fee, and the price depends on what you choose. If you’d prefer to bring your own cake, a $50 cakeage fee applies.

10. Decorations & styling

You’re welcome to bring decorations — we just ask to okay them first and that everything is taken away at the end of your event. We also offer a few extras to make the space yours:

• Tablecloth hire — $30
• Flowers — $300
• Gazebo hire — $100

Prices and availability can change. Decorations mustn’t damage the venue or get in the way of safety, access or the running of the restaurant.

11. Cancellations & changes

If you need to cancel, your deposit is refundable up to 10 days before your event; cancellations or changes inside that window may mean the deposit is retained. We may also need to change or cancel a booking ourselves where something genuinely requires it — an operational reason, or something outside our control — and if that happens, we’ll work with you on a fair alternative.

12. Our website

We do our best to keep the website accurate and current, but menus, prices, hours, packages and availability can change without notice. Photos are there to give you a feel for Lunas and may not match the exact dish, setup or styling on the day.

13. Using our website

Please use the website lawfully. That means not interfering with it or trying to reach parts you’re not meant to, not copying or commercially using our content without permission, and not introducing anything harmful or using the site to mislead or defraud. If we reasonably believe these terms have been broken, we may limit or suspend access.

14. Our content

Unless we’ve said otherwise, everything on this website — words, photography, graphics, branding and logos — belongs to Lunas or is used under licence. Please don’t reproduce, change, distribute or commercially use it without our written permission.

15. Other websites & services

Our site may link to third parties such as social media, mapping or payment services. They operate independently of us, with their own terms and privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for their content, security or how they handle your information.

16. Liability & your consumer rights

As far as the law allows, we’re not liable for loss or damage arising from your use of the website where it’s caused by something outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms removes any right or guarantee you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that can’t be excluded.

17. Things outside our control

Occasionally an event is affected by something no one can help — severe weather, an emergency, government restrictions, a power or supplier failure. Where that happens we won’t be held responsible for the delay or change, and we’ll work with you to find a reasonable way forward.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version always lives on our website, dated with its most recent update.

19. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and any dispute connected with them falls under the courts of New South Wales.
