Gunners Barracks

High Tea: it was fabulous and really flavoursome! We were so fortunate to get a great seat with a view. The sandwiches were really nice and the bread was so fresh and spongy. The savoury food of the high tea was really good and its the first time that I’ve loved and eaten everything on the plate. The sweets were in fact very sweet but still really yum. The scones were a great texture and generous size, maybe a little flavourless but I guess that’s what lashings of jam is for! Or maybe I’m just accustomed to lemonade scones… I would 100% go back here and recommend it to everyone! If I was going to be critical, I unfortunately had egg shell in my sandwich which was a shame but on the other hand, the chicken sandwich was SO good that it made up for it. A fast turn around and nice ambience.

When looking for wedding venues, we couldn’t go past Gunners Barracks. It was the only venue we looked at and we knew instantly that it would be the perfect backdrop for our classic wedding. The venue is elegant and world class with stunning harbour views and beautiful decor, it requires little styling. The staff were incredibly attentive and the day ran so flawlessly. We had many compliments from our guests on the service, food and beautiful venue. We had some rain on our day but the staff took excellent care to accomodate our needs so that the weather did not bother us. The food was exceptional and we loved having a dedicated wedding coordinator, Jessica, to take so much planning off our plates. On the night, the event ran smoothly thanks to our on the day coordinator. I could not fault anything, this venue is exceptional and we had our dream wedding!

I have been to Gunners on numerous occasions and it never disappoints. The staff were attentive and very lovely. Nothing was a problem. The food was delicious we had to take half of it home and of course the views are spectacular. Highly recommend this gorgeous spot.

We had our wedding in March 2024 at Gunners Barracks and to this day are so happy we chose this venue. The GB team went above and beyond both in the lead up and on the actual day to make sure it went smoothly! We knew we wanted an Indian Australian fusion wedding and we couldn’t think of a better place to have celebrated our day :) All our guests both international and local raved about the location, the food and the overall vibes from the venue and the staff. The food was amazing - the canapés in particular were a big hit! Whenever any issues big or small came up our wonderful day of coordinator Emma and the venue manager Tom took control and made everything so simple for us. It was such a blessing to be able to relax and know that we could enjoy our day :) The entire waitstaff/bar team on the night were polite, attentive and kind. Our event coordinator Jessica was incredibly patient and helpful with our questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. She had great ideas and took the time to make sure we understood how the entire process would go. Thank you so much to the entire Gunners Barracks team for everything - you made our day magical!

Our wedding at Gunner’s Barrack was an absolute successful. We had a fairly good size of 80 guests for the venue. It is a stunning historic location and the staff and food were just as amazing on the day. A huge thank you to Gabriella for helping in planning our wedding and ensuring everything went smoothly. We’d also like to extend our gratitude to the entire GB team on the day for making it so special from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to our event manager, Tom, who was exceptionally attentive and kept the day flowing seamlessly, especially when my bridesmaids were running late for the ceremony! Tom was truly our go-to person for everything. It was such a memorable day and we highly recommend the venue !

We held our wedding here in mid September 2024. It was the perfect venue for our 45 guests, and we all had such a good time. All the different areas of the venue were amazing, and a great match for each section of the evening. The food was out of this world, and there was more than enough - even our dietary requirement guests raved about their speciality dishes and the level of service to ensure they knew all their options. We went with the shared platters option and our guests loved being able to choose. They're still talking about how good it was! The decor is very easy to work with, we went with bright flowers and accessories and it was the perfect mix of elegance and fun. We were a little worried the space would feel too big with our smaller guest list, but the space is so versatile and it felt nice and intimate. We had a few older people, as well as some babies and everyone was accommodated for, and the various spaces meant there was plenty of quiet spots for chill out time in between the festivities. Both Jessica and Emma were so easy to work with, and so professional. Any questions in the lead up were answered quickly, and we were clear on what we needed to provide and when. The wait staff on the night were friendly and attentive, genuinely couldn't fault anyone. We would definitely recommend the venue for future couples. It is a beautiful location and very fairly priced.

We got married at Gunners Barracks in 2024. The venue is elegant, requires minimal styling and has a wonderful view. The food was amazing and all made in house including canapés. They have great drinks packages and cocktails can be added on at a very reasonable price. We got many compliments from our guests and family members regarding their fantastic experience celebrating our wedding at gunners barracks. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Jessica the GB event coordinator. Jessica was very supportive throughout the entire wedding planning process and was very efficient with answering any questions. She is friendly, professional, kind and goes above and beyond!!!! I never felt stressed with wedding planning at all because Jess made everything so seamless! Also the event manager on the day, Tom, kept the day flowing so well! He was truely wonderful and our family were raving about him! Thank you Jess and Tom

The restaurant is well-maintained and has a great ambiance, but the front-of-house staff left much to be desired. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a cold and impersonal “Do you have a reservation?”—not exactly the warm welcome one would hope for. Fortunately, I had booked ahead, but the interaction still made me feel unwelcome. While the food and atmosphere were excellent, the lack of hospitality from the staff was disappointing. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

While expensive this was a wonderful experience. We sat on the balcony and appreciated the view. The wind was really blowing and it was a little cool. The heaters could not keep up with the cool blowing wind. The scones were amazing. Tall and light. The clotted cream and jam were amazing. I am giving this a four star as it was expensive for two scones and a pot of tea. This is a place you visit for a special treat

For a High Tea morning tea Gunner's Barracks is sure to impress. The food is all presented to perfection, tastes delicious and is surprisingly filling. The staff go out of their way to accommodate the every need of patrons from allergy and dietary requirements to taking photos. Wait staff were able to answer all questions asked about the food served as part of our high tea menu. When booking it is well worth ask for a spot on the balcony to take advantage of the amazing harbour views. Be prepared to walk quite a few stairs as parking is at the top of the hill.

The Tearoom at Gunner's Barracks has a breathtaking view of Sydney Harbour. Everything on the menu tastes delicious and is beautifully displayed. I recommend the high tea for brunch, which consists of small desserts and mini sandwiches. The high tea portions are small but there is plenty of food on the tray. The Tearoom eludes a "down the beaten track" experience, as the restaurant is somewhat secluded in the bush. The wine list is extensive and vast, with wine from Australia and abroad. Sample the scones or sip some tea! The Tearoom at Gunner's Barracks makes for the perfect birthday or special occasion. Make sure to book a table on the veranda for the best view in the house! The Tearoom is open daily from 11am until 3pm. Beautiful panoramic views await you!

Stunning location, makes the price worth while. Food was yummy and service was impeccable. Would return.

Famous for afternoon tea but we found lunch menu is surprisingly good. All fresh ingredients and full of flavors. Would come again for lunch.

Had high tea on the veranda with two girlfriends on a gloriously sunny winter's day. View of the harbour was breathtaking. Our waiter was friendly and chatty. Food was excellent. $44 per person got us our choice of tea or coffee; delicious buttery scones with homemade jam and whipped butter; quiches and samosas; three kinds of finger sandwiches; chocolate macarons; cheesecake, some kind of coffee-chocolate cake; and a delightful berry and pistachio mousse. The quantity of food was more than adequate and we were totally full afterwards. Went for a walk around the venue after we finished eating and were very impressed with the fit-out and colour scheme of the place. This would be an outstanding venue for a wedding.

Although its owned by the same people who own The Tea Room QVB, the experience is pretty different. Its due of the amazing view of the Sydney CBD skyline and harbour because the food is the same and pretty much stock-standard high tea. Its perfect for mother's day, girly get-togethers and romantic rendezvous. Not the best high tea I've tasted (mine is still Lilianfels in the blue mountains) but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. Beautiful location!

This is really a harborfront wedding reception place which functions as a lunch restaurant and tea house during the week. Good food and service but expensive. Set in old stone military buidling at Middle Head.
