Karl and I had such a wonderful time on the weekend. The event went off without a hitch. Ash was amazing, and so so helpful. The food was lovely, and the atmosphere was perfect. We truly had the greatest time.
A great thankyou from the organising committee and all our attendees from last Saturday. Everyone I spoke to had nothing but positive comments about the venue, the service and the meal.
Everyone I spoke to enjoyed the meal. The partner of one of our members was a former ABC writer, broadcaster and author in the food industry. We asked her what she thought of the food at the Trans and she said she thought it was probably the best Pub food she had ever tasted.
My personal thanks to you for your as…
I want to say a HUGE thank you for arranging our engagement party on the weekend. I am blown away with the venue, service and food! Ash was outstanding and I really could not fault her at all! I was feeling a little unwell at the beginning but having her helping out and just giving me a smile each time I walked past made me feel at ease! I had quite a few people from the industry there from Cloudland and they really impressed with the renovations and the food especially!

Well what a night. We had an absolute ball. In the end we had over 80 guests coming from all over Australia, our biggest turn out in 8 years. We benefitted greatly from reminiscing with old colleagues and I am sure (knowing Navy culture) the Transcontinental did as well with the bar takings. Thanks heaps for organising the space for us. We will keeping this location in mind for future events which do happen yearly around the same time. Also a big thanks to the staff for attending to …
I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that we received very positive feedback on the night and afterwards on the venue, staff and food.
Thank you for helping make it such a successful night and please pass on my thanks to the staff on the night, especially the chefs for putting on such a delicious spread.
Everything was seamless and nothing was too much trouble. It allowed me to relax and enjoy the night too.
Kind regards
I just wanted to say a huge thank you & to give you a massive virtual hug (I’m sure there’s an “emoji” for that but I don’t know how to find it), because I didn’t really get a chance to do either of those things on the day (well I think I gave you a drunken hug but that doesn’t really count). The reception was beyond perfect – both of us were so, so happy with everything you did & pretty much everyone who was there said it was the most relaxed, hilarious, bestest reception they had been to in a …
I’ve been meaning to contact you to thank you for everything you and your team did to ensure our Trivia Night was a great success. We all had a really good time and people had so many complimentary things to say about the Trans (particularly the food – huge props to your kitchen team).
One week ago we got married at the Transcontinental Hotel. Just wanted to thank everyone for a brilliant day. Ash you are a star and we love you. Thank you for looking after us so well. You are amazing and cannot rave about you enough. Everything was great – food, staff & venue.

We love you both and are so impressed and happy with how you organized everything! You guys are so incredible! And Ash, what a superstar, no words!!!! She was amazing getting everything all sorted for us t…
Just wanted to pass on my thanks to yourself and the staff at the Transcontinental Hotel for your assistance in organisation and preparation of our event, and for the smooth running of the event on the night. Having had very little experience in organising something like this, I really appreciated your patience in answering my questions, explaining run sheets etc in the lead up to the event. Similarly, I also owe a big thank you to Alex for assistance on the night of our event, as well as to …

Thanks again for everything for our function. It was such a great night and the food especially was amazing!!!!
Great to see another independent brisbane pub doing well. It’s obvious to see there has been significant investment and thought gone into revitalizing this venue. Food is classic pub style – very reasonably prices and executed by a talented kitchen. Beers and drinks speak for themselves. Well done.
