What we’re about

Welcome to Over 30’s Sydney Restaurant Lovers

We meet, eat and drink at restaurants in Sydney. Various locations (mostly inner west and inner city, but not restricted to these areas), various cuisines, various days and nights of the week and various budgets. Over 30’s (ish - not a hard rule) no upper age limit, all genders, all cultures, all backgrounds - everyone is welcome. I take requests, so give us a shout out if there is a particular restaurant, bar or cafe you’d like to go to.

Note this group is a bit different to others in that I have a first in best dressed system based on deposit payment.

The rules and stuff:
Please understand I’m not a business - I don’t charge fees to be part of this group and the following rules are in place because people are great for the most part, but like all things there is a tiny percentage who take advantage and really mess me around.

No shows, last minute cancellations and not checking your messages if you are on the waitlist may result in you being removed from the group.

All events require a deposit. OSKO or payID is preferred as its instant. The reason for this is a regular bank transfers can take up to a few days and it’s too hard to “save spots” for people (I’ve been burnt by this before when the money never makes it to my account). This deposit goes towards your share on the bill, or transferred back to you if it’s a pay at the counter setup.

Deposits are NOT required for full events.

The standard deposit is $10 which is non refundable and non transferable. If the restaurant charges me a higher figure for no shows (usually $50, sometimes as much as $190 per head) I will ask for more and indicate the conditions I will refund.

When you rsvp you are immediately put on the waitlist. If there are spots available make your deposit payment asap. When it is in my bank account I will manually move you across to attending and mark you as paid. Contact me ahead of time if you want my banking details to keep on file (I don’t post them publicly) so you can get in fast.

Once the event is full I will indicate this. If we have cancellations I will contact you directly via meetup messenger if I can offer you a spot. I go by order of waitlist. PLEASE CHECK YOUR MESSAGES IF YOU ARE ON A WAITLIST

I will pay the bill on the day and expect immediate payment from attendees, so bank transfers that take a couple of days aren’t acceptable, nor is doing it after we leave the restaurant. I do accept cash, but prefer transfers.

Only those who have confirmed are able to attend. No walk-ins please.

If you are late for the event, please ensure you send me a message. The group will wait briefly for late attendees, but the meal will commence after a reasonable wait time. I always book under “Paula” so please come straight to the table.

This is a very diverse group of people of different genders, ages, races, religions and backgrounds so please show respect to all. It is most definitely not a dating group so keep that in mind before joining and respect the privacy of all members.
