Duo Private Dining & Events

  • Good food, great company, wherever the occasion takes us.

    From intimate dinner parties and exclusive restaurant hire to weddings, celebrations and corporate events, we bring the food and hospitality of Duo to your special occasions.

    Led by chef and co-owner Jordan MacDonald, who brings over 20 years of experience in the kitchen, alongside his wife and co-owner Sarah, who oversees events, service and hospitality, we bring together a passion for beautiful food, thoughtful menus and relaxed, memorable dining experiences.

    Whether you're joining us at Duo or inviting us into your own space, we'll take care of the details so you can enjoy the occasion.

Exclusive Dining at Duo

Make Duo yours for the evening.

Our intimate Birkenhead restaurant is available for exclusive private bookings, offering the perfect setting for birthdays, celebrations, corporate dinners and special occasions.

With seating for approximately 30 guests, bespoke menus by Jordan and our team looking after you throughout the evening, it's all the things you love about dining at Duo, with the restaurant all to yourselves.

Private Dining at Home

Your place, our food.

Let us bring the Duo experience to your dining table. From intimate dinners with friends to milestone celebrations, Jordan can create a bespoke menu tailored to your occasion.

We can take care of everything from preparation and cooking to service and clean-up, leaving you free to enjoy the evening with your guests.

Weddings, Celebrations & Events

From intimate weddings and long lunches to cocktail parties and corporate events, we love bringing people together over good food.

Whether you're planning a relaxed family-style feast, an elegant seated dinner or a roaming canapé event, we'll work with you to create a menu that suits the occasion.

Our team can provide chefs, waitstaff and full food service, depending on what your event requires.

Catering, Made Easy

Love hosting but don't love the preparation?

From breakfast meetings and morning teas to afternoon nibbles and full dinner spreads, our drop-off catering is designed to make entertaining effortless.

Think freshly baked croissants, filled baguettes and sandwiches for the morning crowd, freshly shucked oysters and delicious bites for afternoon gatherings, or house-baked focaccia, slow-braised lamb shoulder, seasonal salads, beautiful sides and indulgent desserts for something a little more substantial.

Beautifully prepared, ready-to-serve food with minimal fuss.

Perfect for office lunches, dinner parties, family gatherings and everything in between.

Let's Plan Something

We'd love to hear what you're planning.

Whether it's an intimate dinner for ten, exclusive use of Duo or a celebration for a crowd, get in touch and we'll help bring it to life.
