Summer Long Lunch
A seasonal long lunch experience that brings exceptional dining and a relaxed Summer atmosphere to Sydney.
Exclusive. Refined. Relaxed.
The Summer Long Lunch has wrapped for the 2025-26 season after another unforgettable celebration of flavour, style and long, leisurely afternoons at Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens.
This signature long lunch experience blends seasonal dishes, culinary artistry and vibrant Summer atmosphere in a setting where you can slow down, savour every bite and enjoy warm weather dining at its finest.
The Summer Long Lunch will return in late 2026. In the meantime, explore its Winter counterpart for a new seasonal twist on long lunching.
The Best Seats In The House
The Summer Long Lunch offered guests an exceptional dining experience from some of the most impressive vantage points at our racecourses. From these elevated positions overlooking the theatre of the track, guests enjoyed beautifully crafted dishes while the excitement of racing played out below.
This was more than a table in a premium setting. It was a signature moment of the season that brought together long form dining, warm Summer atmosphere and the highest standard of hospitality.
The Summer Long Lunch will return in late 2026. Until then, you can continue the tradition through our Winter Long Lunch experience.

Where Time Pauses, Taste Prevails
Settle into an indulgent long-form dining experience that invites you to slow down and savour every moment.
The Summer Long Lunch treated guests to a five-hour feast unlike anything else in Sydney, created with seasonal produce and presented with exceptional care.
Each course was designed to showcase flavour, craft and creativity. From the first bite to the final sip, guests were encouraged to relax, connect and enjoy the rare pleasure of truly unhurried dining in one of Sydney’s most inspiring raceday settings.
Wine Not? Make It Perfect
The Summer Long Lunch offered guests the option to elevate their afternoon with an indulgent five-hour beverage experience.
It began with a complimentary glass of Whispering Angel Rosé on arrival, followed by a curated selection of premium wines, craft beers, sparkling and soft drinks poured throughout the long lunch.
This thoughtful pairing enhanced every course and added a sense of celebration to the occasion. It was the ideal way to enjoy Sydney’s warm Summer atmosphere and create a long lunch that felt elegant, generous and truly memorable.
