Arrival Options
PARKING AT THE PANDORA
Parking at The Pandora is limited and can become very busy, particularly in summer, at weekends and during good weather.
To make your visit smoother, we recommend arriving early, car sharing where possible or considering an alternative arrival route by foot, boat or bike.
If you are visiting as part of a group or celebration, please share parking details with your guests ahead of time.
FAMILIES AND THE PONTOON
Families are warmly welcomed at The Pandora. In the summer months, the pontoon is one of our most popular spots, especially for children who love crabbing by the creek while parents relax with food, drinks and waterside views.
We sell crab nets and bait during the season, making it easy to enjoy a proper Pandora day out. Outdoor and pontoon seating is available on a first come, first served basis and cannot be reserved.
MUDDY PAWS WELCOME DOWNSTAIRS
Well-behaved dogs on leads are always very welcome in our downstairs bar area and outdoor spaces.
Please note that dogs are not permitted upstairs in the restaurant. Downstairs and outdoor tables are available on a first come, first served basis, so guests visiting with dogs are very welcome, but will not be able to reserve an upstairs table with their dog.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
A visit to The Pandora can be more than a meal. Walk the creek, arrive by water, enjoy a drink in the afternoon, explore the local area, then stay for dinner as the light changes over the water.
Families can enjoy the pontoon in summer, walkers can use us as a rewarding stop-off and boaters can make The Pandora part of a day on the creek.
