the dark dinner

Taste the Night. Fear the Unknown.

This Halloween, Pony Dining steps out from the fire and into the shadows for an unforgettable collaboration with GHOST Festival and The Rocks.

Hosted at Foundation Park, the Dark Dinner unfolds across three haunting nights, with a themed menu by Chef Neil Nolan that blurs the line between food and theatre. Gather around a long, candlelit table as four decadent courses and hauntingly good wines set the stage for live music, performance and eerie surprises.

A night where food, story and spectacle collide - and nothing is quite as it seems.
