The Butler Event Kit

Thanks for getting in touch about hosting your upcoming celebration at The Butler Potts Point

Anchored in the chic backstreets of Potts Point, The Butler stands as a testament to Sydney’s evolving culinary landscape. Here, the sophisticated charm of Sydney’s most cosmopolitan enclave meets the bold flavours of Mexico City’s Polanco and Roma Norte districts.

All our event menus are created by The Butler’s Head Chef Amber Doig. We have a variety of sit down and cocktail style menus to choose from, and we can create bespoke custom menus on request.

Guests with special dietary requirements will receive appropriate replacements, but the menus already include lots of fantastic gluten free and vegetarian options.

Want something a little different? Chat to our events team about additional options and add on’s.
