That’s all folks!

After nearly 10 years of fabulous food, delicious wine and amazing friendships, we have wrapped up at Merne for the last time. We are now officially closed for business.

What a wonderful journey it has been. Our last month has been full of love, and the continuing support has been incredible.
Big thanks to our brilliant team, Josh, Sharon, Lyndon, Michelle, Kell, Eliza, Jonah, Nat, Deb, Fiona, Shannon and all those that worked at Merne before you. You’re all superstars and we appreciate you all.
Most of all we’d love to thank our wonderful Merne tribe!
Our amazing supportive guests, our wedding and events family and all our brides and grooms who have said”I do”. We would never have made it without you.

We’re officially into our last three months of Merne and our final, emotional weeks are not too far away. Please don’t forget that our menu for December and January will be our favourite dishes from the last decade. It’s our greatest hits!

Just want give you all a bit of a bookings update.
We are heavily booked for the whole month of November and the first week of December.
There is still good availability from mid December to early January where we are then heavily booked for our final two weeks. We close our doors after Australia Day weekend.

If you are still have a Merne gift voucher, please get your booking organised asap to avoid not being able to use it. We’d hate to see it go to waste.

If you are struggling to find a date that suits, please don’t hesitate to email me (Caleb) on [email protected] and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

Finally we are overwhelmed with the constant gratitude for your continued support. It’s been so lovely to be reminded of what our little restaurant has meant to you over the years.

Regards

Team Merne

We have some big news!

With our leasehold expiring at the end of January 2026, we have decided that we will not be renewing our lease moving forward.

This has been an incredibly tough decision and one that we did not take lightly. We just felt it was time to close this chapter of our lives.

The last nine years have been wonderful for us. When thinking of the incredible connections with our guests and wedding couples, it saddens us to think that this will be no more.

We are a small, independently owned restaurant with just a handful of staff, who have dedicated ourselves to hopefully providing excellence in food and in service. We see this simply as an opportunity for us to leave Merne on our own terms.

Do what does this mean moving forward?
We have another 10 months of Merne, at least another three of our seasonal menus before we finish up.

We’d love to see you again soon, maybe even a few times before the big farewell!

Thank you to you all!

Caleb, Josh, Sharon, Lyndon and the team at Merne.
