At the heart of every event is Rebecca’s passion for food and hospitality. She creates bespoke menus tailored to each occasion, often showcasing seasonal ingredients and local produce from the Hilltops region. For Rebecca, food is more than just part of the event — it is part of the experience itself.

“I love experimenting with food,” says Rebecca. “Food brings people together and creates amazing memories.”

Guests often comment on the generous flavours, the welcoming country hospitality and the thoughtful details that make an event feel personal. From carefully styled table settings to ensuring dietary needs are thoughtfully catered for, Rebecca approaches each gathering with the aim of creating a relaxed but refined experience for everyone attending.

What makes Clifton House and Gardens different is that every event is individually crafted. Rebecca works closely with clients to shape an occasion that reflects their vision — whether that’s a romantic garden wedding, a milestone birthday celebration, a corporate gathering, or a private dining experience shared with family and friends.

It’s important to know that Clifton House and Gardens is not a restaurant where you can simply book a table for dinner. Instead, it operates as a function venue, designed for events that are thoughtfully planned and tailored to the people attending. Each celebration is prepared in advance so Rebecca can create the atmosphere, menu and experience that will make the occasion memorable.
Rebecca’s love for the Hilltops region also plays a big role in the business. Through her food, hospitality and the setting she has created, she enjoys showcasing the beauty and produce of the region to visitors and locals alike. Her aim is simple — to create an experience that feels luxurious, delicious and memorable.
