COMMON QUESTIONS

  • Roll out your best dress! This is an occasion to smart up for, so think spring garden party glam. We’ll be dining on the lawn, so block heels or flats will serve you better than stilettos, and sunnies are a good idea.

  • Rain or shine, the feast at The Long Table Lunch goes on. If the weather turns, we’ll move into the covered Cuvée Lawn so you can keep on dining and sipping in comfort.

  • We can cater for some dietary requirements. Please email feast@lemongrassproductions.co.nz with your name, booking details and requirements as early as possible, and we’ll be in touch to confirm.

  • Driving: Enter via 16 Derby Downs Place, drive through the tunnel and follow the road to the carpark inside the racecourse infield. Once parked, walk through the pedestrian tunnel to the grandstand side of the course. From the motorway, take the Greenlane exit.
     

    Being dropped off or walking: Head to 100 Ascot Avenue, Remuera.
     

    Accessibility: Guests with mobility permits can use the designated accessibility parks via 100 Ascot Avenue. Email us before the day and we’ll help you get set up.
     

    Getting home: With drinks included, we recommend leaving the car at home and booking a taxi or rideshare.
