Please note:
Where food is being sold or provided at an event, the provider will need to be registered with Foodtrader, part of the Victorian Government Health Department to provide your statement of trade.
No roasting spits are allowed in the venue or any outdoor areas in the Town Hall precinct. No outdoor cooking is permitted anywhere in the precinct and no gas bottles may be brought on site.
Food vans are not permitted at Williamstown Town Hall events. For non-catered events, there are cafés, bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets and other dining options available near the Town Hall on Ferguson St, Douglas Parade and surrounds.
Meals must only be available for consumption seated at tables. Meals cannot be taken into the ballroom for theatre style shows. Dry snacks, whether pre-packaged cold or warm, can be consumed in a seated theatre style setup. Examples of permissible snacks include crisps, nuts, prawn crackers, arare, chicharon, jerky, biscuits, chocolates, mithai, sandwiches, sushi, pasties, and samosas.
The Williamstown Town Hall is hired without linen, crockery and cutlery. No food should be served in single-use plastic takeaway containers. Table cloths must be provided for all venue trestles used for food preparation, service and dining. Plastic table cloths are not permitted.
Please ensure your caterer brings everything needed with them.
All food and beverage providers must complete our Registration Form. Failure to complete this registration process in full including compliant insurance, statement of trade, and risk assessment, ten business days prior to the event date, may result in the venue not being able to approve the provision of any food and beverage service and will incur a $500 late-processing fee payable by the hirer of the venue prior to the event.
