Check out the Grandview Hotel menu for an idea of what's likely to be available, though there will probably be some changes to the menu, so you should check back closer to the date.

We've booked out Cinema 1 of the Henkel Street Cinema in Brunswick, so you can optionally have a quick pub meal nearby, then watch the movie Pride (2014) surrounded by your Nomads friends.
GRADE: Social.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: You can either join us at 6pm at the Hotel Railway Brunswick, 291-293 Albert St for a pub meal, or come directly to the Henkel Street Cinema, 10/102 Henkel St, Brunswick at 7pm in readiness for the screening to start at 7:15pm.
Wednesday is parma night at the pub - chicken or eggplant parma with fries and slaw for $20 - or you can order from their pub menu.
For the cinema, you can pre-order food and drinks online, order at the bar upon arrival at the cinema, or order via a QR code near your (comfortable) seat. Available options include cinema snacks (popcorn, choc tops and sweets), vegetarian pizza, arancini balls, beer, wine, cider and soft drinks.
Pride is a movie based on a true story that depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1984, at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. The activists decide to ignore the Union and go direct to the miners. Almost by accident, a minibus-load of gays find themselves in the Welsh village of Onllwyn in the Dulais valley, and through their sincere fundraising and Jonathan's nifty disco moves, persuade most of the community that they are on the same side.
BOOKING: By Tuesday 15th July or ASAP to ensure you don't miss out (only 3 seats of 22 seats available).
To BOOK you must GET a TICKET from the Nomads website by following: http://thq.fyi/se/47e98192e21e. Click on Get Tickets.
Note: An RSVP on Meetup is NOT a booking.
Please indicate whether you're planning to attend the pub or just the cinema when booking.
