Function and Event facilities
With a host of retail outlets, café spaces, bars and lounges at the MCG, there are a multitude of choices available with a quality and variety of food and drink for sports fans and the like.
More than 150 different food and beverage products are on offer around the ground on a match day highlighting the flexibility and diversity of the catering available.
On a non-match day, there are two diverse cafes open for the general public - the Northern Café offering light snacks, great coffee and hot food - and the Hugh Trumble Café offering plated meals, sandwiches, rolls, wraps and cold drinks.
From open, airy dining spaces to the Members Dining Room with spectacular views and contemporary, upmarket menu options; the MCG is now a venue offering much more variation than ever before.
With 24 event spaces, seating for 50 – 700 delegates (or up to 1000 guests for a cocktail party), Epicure Catering at the MCG offers the most discerning guest a wonderful array of function menu options. With attention to detail at every level, the clients experience is of paramount importance – followed closely by the environment, innovative food and wine, the service and the people!
Menus are designed on a seasonal basis, and take advantage of fresh local produce when it is at its best to offer dishes that complement the seasons. This way guests are provided with the best possible choice, no matter what time of year the event is being held.
