This year, we’ve come up with a little wager of our own, in support of an Irish horse! Book now for our $55 per head lunch package which includes any main meal from the menu with a drink, and if the horse wins, we will REFUND all pre-purchased lunch packages in full!

Legendary Irish horse trainer Willie Mullins has two runners in this year’s Melbourne Cup and if either win, we’ll refund all lunch bookings to the value of $55 per person. Our man has two great chances in Vauban (the race favourite) and Absurde who also won its most recent race and we’re backing in a big Willie win!

Catch the race live with sound on our BIG screen, extra TV’s throughout the venue and live music kicking off straight after the race. Bookings now welcome.

To be eligible for the wager, be sure to have booked by 5pm Friday 3rd November. Email here at events@themercantilehotel.com.au to secure your table now.

Digital TAB facilities, sweep stakes and prizes for best dressed are all part of the fun. Live music kicks off after the race!
