Fresh and Fork Casino Nights
Play Your Cards, Savour Your Dinner
An evening of fresh Australian cuisine and classic casino games – poker, roulette, and blackjack – in the heart of Surry Hills.
Where Fine Dining Meets the Felt
Fresh and Fork is a restaurant first. Our kitchen works with local producers to bring you dishes that celebrate Australia's best seasonal ingredients, from line-caught barramundi to grass-fed beef and garden-fresh vegetables. The dining room is designed for comfort and style, with warm timber, soft lighting, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger.
On selected evenings, we add a different kind of energy. The gentle click of chips, the turn of a card, the spin of a wheel – these sounds join the murmur of conversation and the clink of cutlery. Our casino nights are not a gamble; they are an experience. The tables are staffed by friendly hosts who explain the rules, keep the game moving, and make sure everyone feels welcome, whether you are a seasoned player or trying your hand for the first time.
The games are played purely for entertainment. Chips are provided at your table and hold no cash value. There is no buying in, no payouts, no wagering of any kind. You are here to enjoy the ritual of the game, the company of your fellow diners, and a menu that remains the star of the evening.
What makes these nights special is the way they blend two pleasures. You might start with a dozen Sydney rock oysters and a glass of Tasmanian sparkling, then move to the poker table for a few friendly hands.
