I feel the $15pp BBQ could have been more substantial than a loaf of bread with sausages, kebabs & vege parties with pasta salad in a side bowl. But overall I had a great experience :) Amazing way to enjoy what Sydney Harbour has to offer. Booking process was simple and smooth and Staff were friendly and professional.
