Make the most of your visit

Lunch

You’ll notice some changes on the Memorial site when you arrive – we are in the process of building a new cafe among other things, and as such the Outpost Cafe is no longer available. Whilst there will be some inconvenience to you during this time, we are sure you’ll be impressed with the cafe facilities available to you in the future.

Packed lunches for school groups will continue to be available through Hyatt Catering, and they can be picked from behind the Landing Place Cafe. Teachers booking this service will receive a map with their booking confirmation.
