The 'Drome Cafe
Overview
The 'Drome Cafe is located in the Tocumwal Aviation Museum and offers a modern industrial-style dining experience. The term 'Drome, which is used by the locals to refer to the aerodrome, inspired the name of the cafe.
The cafe provides a unique experience with its specialty products, quality ingredients, and exceptional service. The Wood and Co coffee served at the cafe is not just a coffee, it is an experience.
The menu includes simple yet high-quality dining options for morning and afternoon tea, as well as light lunches using the best local and regional produce. The cafe serves Wood and Co coffee, T2 specialty teas, and Grounded Pleasures hot chocolate, marshmallows, and Chai. The fully licensed bar has a variety of craft beers, wines, gins, and whiskies.
The 'Drome Cafe is available for private functions and events outside of regular business hours. The modern industrial open space can accommodate up to 60 people and is perfect for corporate or club events, including Christmas parties or other special occasions.
Catering services are available from nibbles and finger food to sit-down meals, and the cafe is happy to work with catering partners or your choice of caterer. Please contact the cafe to discuss event or function requirements.
