A New Standard in Event Dining

Optus Stadium is proudly operated by VenuesLive. Food is our passion and our purpose. We craft every event so that you and your guests leave both surprised and delighted. We have changed the game to deliver exceptional experiences every time a guest steps through our doors.

We are as local as the food we serve. We know our venues are the heart of the community and we work with and support local suppliers to bring their produce directly to the tables of our guests. From the growers who produce the vegetables we serve, to the farmers who raise the cattle, to the butchers who process it — we know our suppliers by their first names.

We believe in fresh food. It’s our promise that, wherever we can, our products are produced in house, in our own kitchens, by our own chefs, using locally sourced produce. We know freshness is intrinsically linked to quality. And we’ve built relationships with local suppliers which means we can be at the forefront of purchasing the freshest and best produce to serve our customers. For our food to be fresh, we choose to embrace seasonal produce. At the heart of our operation lies a passion to deliver innovative, delicious and Australian menus that focus on seasonal ingredients.

In addition to this, our in-house food and beverage teams give our guests a rich dining experience underpinned by our passionate chefs who come from some of the most well-known international venues.

Our chefs bring with them experience from across the globe to make our venues the best in Australia.

Drawing on this combined experience, our team design and adjust menus and new recipes to suit every client need.

We’ve delivered more than 700 bespoke events annually — from private dinners to gala events, cocktail parties and conferences. We’ve been entrusted with every event imaginable — from weddings and engagements, to birthdays, national campaign launches and the 2021 Brownlow Medal.
