The new-look Taren Point Hotel, which the Feros Group says has been designed to provide “a heap of fun”, will be fully unveiled on Thursday, December 6.
The following night, legendary singer-songwriter Richard Clapton will launch a new program of Australian music.
A revamped sports bar, TAB and sports terrace have already been opened as stage one of the $1 million upgrade.
The rest of the renovations, to be opened on December 6, include a new bistro, lounge bar, beer garden and family-friendly laneway with a food truck and two children’s play areas.
Carlton Draught tank beer will be delivered straight from the brewery and more screens will be available throughout the venue for sports viewing.
Taren Point Hotel is the oldest of the Feros Group’s venues.
The group, which was awarded the 2018 AHA Group Hotel Operator of the Year, also owns and operates The Prince at Kirrawee and Highfield Caringbah.
Chief executive Chris Feros said the Taren Point Hotel had undergone complete re-branding and renovation.
“H and E Architects, who worked with us on The Prince, Highfield, Ugly Pizza and Huxley’s, were given the brief to deliver a really casual and bright overhaul of every space in the pub,” he said.
“Our vision for the pub is simply to have a heap of fun.
“The outdoor areas will be awesome, with festoon lights, pops of colour, bright graffiti walls and food truck and an amazing new laneway space for kids and adults.”
Coinciding with the relaunch will be a new bistro menu.
Paul Pirreca, Feros Group executive chef, said his inspiration had come broadly from the evolution of food in the Sydney pub scene over the last 20 years.
It included simple, nostalgic and homestyle meals and pub classics.
Mr Pirreca said traditional favourites included “huge schnitys, a great burger range, fish and chips, steaks and pizzas, as well as broad selection of healthy options”.
“We will also offer a second food option with a modern take on kebabs, salads and plates from a food truck in the outdoor courtyard,” he said.
“The concept for Good Time Kebabs comes from homestyle BBQs with barbequed meat, healthy salads, flatbread and some killer dips and sauces.
“There will be both traditional kebabs and modern plates with three types of meats to choose from served with the classic trimmings.
“The Feros team visited some awesome venues in Melbourne and Brisbane and fell in love with the food truck concept and Taren Point was the first opportunity to introduce one of these into their venues.”
