The financial year is almost at an end. This means two things: firstly it’s time to get cracking on that financial report and secondly (and perhaps most importantly), you need to decide how to entertain the clients, employees and customers who have put a special effort in over the past 12 months. Being a financially savvy time however, you don’t want to blow your budget. To avoid sinking the bottom line, Best Venues has compiled a list of incredible, yet pocket-friendly, special offers available over the winter period.
We also thought this month would be the perfect time to bring our members private dining venues and hidden locations that you may not know about. And we’ve selected a few spots perfect for end of year cocktail parties and gatherings – whether you’re planning a small private function or a team night out.
Make sure you check out the events calendar and news sections on Best Venues to stay on top of what’s going on in the industry – there are new venues and happenings coming up all the time. Warm the cockles and get cooking this month with CIRA’s Italian Winter Cooking Program where top chefs are turning up the heat.
If you’re starting to think about ideas for end of financial year rewards or simply looking for a gift to say “thank you” to an employee, log on to our newly launched gift website www.bestgiftcertificates.com.au. It is the only online gift certificate website in Australia dedicated to restaurants, wine, food and the hospitality industry, combined with lifestyle experiences.
This month, Best Venues and Icon Film are giving you the chance to win a double pass to see the new release CHERI. Read on to find out how to enter.

Win a double pass to see CHERI
Best Venues and Icon Film are giving you the chance to win double passes to see the movie CHERI.
Set in the luxurious demi-monde of pre-First World War Paris, CHERI is the story of the love affair between the beautiful retired courtesan Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Cheri (Rupert Friend), the son of her old colleague and rival, Mme Peloux (Kathy Bates).
Lea has educated the spoilt and callow bow in the ways of love, but after six years Mme Peloux has secretly arranged a marriage between Cheri and Edmee (Felicity Jones), daughter of another rich courtesan, Marie Laure.
As the inevitable moment of parting approaches, Lea and Cheri try to come to terms with their imminent separation, but the roots of their life of ease and pleasure reach deeper that even they imagine and they begin to understand, too late, how much they mean to one another.
In cinemas Thursday, 23 July
