Private Dining Rooms for
Baby Showers
Baby showers don't have to happen in someone's living room. A private dining room takes the hosting pressure off entirely — proper food, a beautiful setting, and all you have to do is show up and open presents.

No Hosting, No Cleaning
Someone else cooks, serves, and cleans up. The host gets to actually enjoy the shower instead of running around their kitchen.
A Grown-Up Celebration
A private dining room elevates the baby shower from finger food in a lounge to a proper lunch or dinner. It feels special because it is.
Perfect for Games and Gifts
Your own room means you can set up games, open gifts, and take your time — no hovering waitstaff or time limits.
A Baby Shower Without the Stress
The best baby showers are the ones where the mum-to-be gets to sit down and enjoy herself. A private dining room handles everything — great food, enough space for gifts and games, and someone else doing all the work. Lunch is the most popular format, but high tea or early dinner work just as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is lunch or dinner better for a baby shower?
Lunch is the most popular option — usually 12pm to 2:30pm. It suits the energy levels of late pregnancy better than a late dinner. Some groups also do a weekend high tea format.
Can we set up decorations before the guests arrive?
Most venues will let you arrive 30-60 minutes early to set up. Confirm this when booking and let them know what you're planning so they can advise on any restrictions.
Is there room for gift opening?
Yes — a private dining room gives you space to open gifts at the table or in a dedicated area of the room. It's much more comfortable than trying to do this in a public restaurant.
