Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event centre has unveiled its inaugural Food and Beverage menus.

Designed to showcase the best of Geelong and The Bellarine’s regional produce, the menus are a blend of coastal flavours and culinary innovation.

The debut menu from Head Chef Andreas Gober celebrates local growers and makers, and the strong sense of community that is distinctly Geelong.

“Our food philosophy is all about gathering and sharing – connecting people with place,” Mr Gober said.

“We’ve worked closely with local farmers, producers and artisans who share our passion for sustainability and creativity. Every dish on our menu captures the freshness and beauty of Geelong and The Bellarine.”

From native fruits and coastal honey at breakfast to refined gala dishes that hero local seafood, grains and seasonal vegetables, the menus are designed to suit every event style, from conferences and networking cocktails to grand celebrations.

Rick Aylett, General Manager of Nyaal Banyul, said the menu launch represents a key milestone in defining what visitors can expect from the new venue.

“It’s all about creating a unique, unforgettable experience for our customers. Whether you’re hosting a major convention or an intimate celebration, everyone who walks through our doors will get a taste of what makes this region so special.”

Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Steve Dimopoulos praised the use of local producers in Nyaal Banyul’s inaugural menus.
