Saltbush Bar & Grill

Where the Richmond River meets the table — coastal flavours, unhurried moments.

All the festive trimmings, Saltbush-style. Share platters of Ballina king prawns, chicken skewers, dips, focaccia and turkey brie crostini — followed by wild-caught barramundi, orange maple glazed Christmas ham or Southern Ranges rib eye, and Christmas pudding or chocolate pavlova to finish.

An afternoon of Greek Island feasting with bottomless house wine & beer — spanakopita, moussaka, lamb klefitco, chicken souvlaki, taramosalata and much more.

A community lunch held to honour the Marine Rescue volunteers we have lost and to raise funds for their families and the surviving crew members. In conjunction with Rotary Club Ballina.

An elegant afternoon of sparkling wine, warm scones, sweet pastries, savoury bites and finger sandwiches — celebrating International Tea Day.

An all-you-can-eat waterfront buffet — breakfast classics, fresh seasonal fare, juices and coffee.

A three-course celebration of the season's finest, with entrée, main and dessert — served waterfront for Mum.

A candlelit three-course dinner on the river — seared scallops, lamb tenderloin, sirloin, snapper, duck breast and indulgent desserts.

Eight curated experiences, from sunrise sourdough to late-night pours. Every plate, pour and pairing built around what's in season, in waters, and on nearby farms.
