The Stack House Parlour menu
A table built for conversation
Our menu is built for sharing, conversation, and the simple pleasure of a well-cooked meal. Whether you are here for a long dinner or a quick bite before settling into a game of poker, every dish is made to be enjoyed face-to-face.
The kitchen focuses on modern Australian cuisine with a strong emphasis on seasonal produce and generous portions. Dishes are designed to be shared, encouraging a social dining experience that mirrors the communal spirit of the card lounge. The menu changes regularly to reflect the best available ingredients, but the core structure remains consistent.
Starters
Light beginnings
Start your meal with something bright and flavourful. Our starters are designed to wake up the palate without filling you up before the main event. Portions are moderate, leaving room for mains and sharing plates, and they can also be ordered as sides to accompany a larger shared meal.
Slow-cooked savoury bowl
A warm, comforting option with a rich, savoury base. Slow-cooked elements bring depth of flavour, and the dish is finished with a crunchy topping for contrast.
Citrus seafood starter
A seafood-inspired starter with a light, citrusy profile. Fresh, locally sourced seafood is balanced with a delicate mix of acid and sweetness, offering a clean and bright first course.
Mains
Hearty and satisfying
Our mains are the heart of the menu, featuring robust flavours and generous portions. Whether you prefer meat, seafood, or vegetarian, there is a dish to satisfy. Mains are designed to be enjoyed individually or shared, and each is paired with complementary sides and sauces. The kitchen uses a mix of classic techniques and modern twists.
Grilled over open flame
A succulent grilled protein with a smoky char and herb butter. Cooked over open flame for depth, it is served with roasted vegetables that soak up the rich, savoury juices.
Slow-braised and tender
A slow-braised dish with tender meat and a rich, glossy sauce. The meat falls apart with a fork and is served with creamy mashed potatoes, making it a deeply comforting choice.
Aromatic seafood broth
A fresh seafood main with a light, aromatic broth. Delicate fish or shellfish is infused with citrus and herbs, creating a bright yet satisfying dish that feels both elegant and generous.
Roasted vegetable and grain
A hearty vegetarian option with layers of texture and umami. Roasted vegetables and grains are topped with a savoury crumble, offering a substantial main that never feels like an afterthought.
Sharing plates
Made for the table
Sharing plates are at the core of the Stack House Parlour experience. They are designed to be passed around, sparking conversation and making every meal a communal event. Platters feature a mix of textures and flavours, ideal for groups before or after a poker session. They can be ordered as a full meal or as accompaniments.
Cured meat and cheese board
A generous board with cured meats, cheeses, and pickled vegetables. Locally sourced produce is served with crusty bread, making it an easy centrepiece for a relaxed group meal.
Hot fried platter
A hot platter of fried favourites with dipping sauces. Crispy and satisfying, it is perfect for sharing over drinks while the table settles into conversation.
Vegetable-forward platter
A vegetable-forward platter with roasted and raw elements. Seasonal vegetables are prepared simply and accompanied by a creamy dip, offering a lighter but still generous sharing option.
Sides
The perfect accompaniment
Our sides are more than an afterthought. Each one is crafted to enhance the main dishes and add variety to your table. Options include roasted vegetables, salads, and indulgent potato dishes. Sides can be ordered individually or as a selection for the table, with seasonal ingredients highlighted throughout.

Dining and poker
A table for every game
At Stack House Parlour, the dining room and the poker room are two sides of the same coin. Our menu is designed to fuel long conversations and friendly competition, whether you are enjoying a meal before a game or taking a break between hands.
The card lounge is just steps away from the dining area, making it easy to transition from dinner to a game. Sharing plates are particularly popular among poker groups who want to keep the table lively. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, encouraging face-to-face interaction.
