Introduction
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of TheGoldenFfold website located at https://thegoldenffold.com, our related online services, and your experience at our modern Australian dining venue. By accessing, browsing, or using this site, or by making a booking or visiting our venue, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions, together with any additional policies referenced on this page. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should refrain from using our website and services.
These Terms and Conditions are intended to align with applicable laws and regulations in Australia. Nothing in these terms is intended to limit your rights under Australian Consumer Law or other non-excludable statutory guarantees.
Venue Policies
TheGoldenFfold is curated as a refined, welcoming environment that highlights premium Australian hospitality. We ask all guests to behave respectfully towards our team members, fellow guests, and the venue itself at all times. Conduct that is disruptive, offensive, unsafe, or inconsistent with the atmosphere of our venue may result in refusal of entry or service, or in a request to leave the premises, in accordance with applicable Australian laws and responsible service obligations.
We reserve the right to set and enforce venue-specific codes of conduct designed to preserve the comfort, safety, and enjoyment of all guests. This may include expectations regarding dress standards, intoxication, responsible consumption of alcohol, appropriate use of our poker tables and dining spaces, and adherence to any health, safety, or public-order directions in force at the time of your visit.
Entertainment-Only Poker Evenings
TheGoldenFfold hosts offline poker evenings, friendly poker tournaments, and private poker-themed social events exclusively for entertainment purposes. All games are designed as interactive social experiences to complement our dining offering and do not constitute real-money gambling. No cash buy-ins, real-money betting, wagering, or gambling transactions of any kind are permitted at our poker tables.
Participation in any poker-themed activity at TheGoldenFfold is strictly subject to the following conditions:
- No real-money gambling, side betting, or cash prizes are offered, facilitated, or permitted.
- Any points, chips, or scoring mechanisms used during an event are purely representational and hold no monetary value.
- Prizes, if offered, are non-cash in nature and may include hospitality experiences or other entertainment-focused rewards at our discretion.
- By joining a poker evening or tournament, you acknowledge and accept that the activity is entertainment-only and agree to comply with all instructions provided by our team.
We reserve the right to suspend or remove any participant from a poker activity where we reasonably believe that behaviour may be unsafe, unsportsmanlike, contrary to the spirit of entertainment-only play, or in breach of Australian law.
Reservations & Bookings
All reservations at TheGoldenFfold, including dining bookings, registrations for poker nights, and enquiries for private functions, are subject to availability and our confirmation. Submitting a request via our website, by phone, or in person does not guarantee a booking until you receive a formal confirmation from our team.
To complete or secure a booking, we may request additional information such as contact details, preferred dates and times, guest numbers, and any special requirements. For certain events or larger groups, we may also request a deposit or pre-authorisation in line with our internal booking policies.
We reserve the right to decline or cancel a booking where required for operational, safety, or legal reasons, or where the information provided to us is incomplete, misleading, or inconsistent with our venue standards. Any such decision will be made in accordance with applicable Australian laws, and we will endeavour to communicate changes or cancellations to you as early as reasonably possible.
For more information on making a booking, please visit our Reservations page or contact our team via the details provided on the Contact Us page.
Private Event Terms
Custom terms and conditions apply to private events held at TheGoldenFfold, including but not limited to business dinners, corporate functions, networking evenings, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, private parties, and VIP experiences. These tailored terms may cover deposit requirements, minimum spend thresholds, menu selections, room hire, audio-visual arrangements, and any bespoke entertainment or poker-themed experiences you request.
Before confirming a private event, we will outline the relevant terms, including:
- Deposit policies and payment schedules required to secure your booking
- Cancellation timelines and any applicable fees or non-refundable amounts
- Final guest numbers, seating arrangements, and cut-off dates for changes
- Guest responsibilities for conduct, damage to property, and adherence to venue policies
- Any special conditions related to entertainment-only poker activities arranged for your event
By confirming a private event, you agree to be bound by those custom terms in addition to these general Terms and Conditions. If there is any inconsistency between the two, the event-specific terms will prevail for the duration and scope of that event.
Age Restrictions
TheGoldenFfold is principally designed for adult guests seeking a sophisticated dining and social experience. Our poker evenings, tournaments, and poker-themed events are specifically intended for guests aged 18 years and over. We reserve the right to request valid proof of age at any time, including but not limited to on entry, at the bar, or prior to participation in entertainment-only poker activities.
Where we are unable to verify that a guest meets the minimum age requirement, or where we reasonably suspect that identification provided is invalid or misused, we may decline entry, deny service, or restrict participation in certain aspects of the venue offering. These measures support our commitment to responsible service, guest safety, and compliance with Australian law.
