BELOW ARE FIVE EASY STEPS FOR ARRANGING FOOD FOR YOUR PARTY AT AURORA

THE AURORA EXPERIENCE

At Aurora, we want to ensure that the experience of coming to our bar and restaurant is an exciting

prospect for our guests.

We work extremely hard to cultivate the highest standards of service, food

and atmosphere to ensure that your event runs smoothly.

From the menu decisions, table decorations, bespoke cocktails and

much more, nothing is too much trouble to create exactly what

our guests require.

If you have any special requests at all, no matter big or small – from organising

a bespoke birthday cake to live music at your party, let us know what your

requirements are, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate them.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT ELSE IS ON OFFER AT AURORA…

With over 45 cocktails to choose from, a vast array of spirits and an extensive wine list, we always ensure our guests have a drink

with a view; thanks to our floor-to-ceiling windows. We even offer cocktail making, ideal for team building or a hen party.

Sundays are meant to be a day of rest. So let Aurora step up to the plate and serve a traditional Sunday roast with all the

trimmings and none of the washing up.

At Aurora, we serve modern British cuisine. What does that mean? Well for us, it means excellent, local food cooked to the highest possible standard.

Unseen menu, paired wines, best table in the house – the Aurora Chef ’s Table is a real experience. Simply tell us your budget, how

many friends you’d like to bring along and we’ll do the rest….

Aurora is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of Ipswich’s premier live music destinations. Champions of local talent, we’ve got soulful house, laid-back acoustic and funky jazz,

ensuring that there’s something for everyone.

Aurora is airy and bright during the day, and lights up Ipswich marina at night. With the bar downstairs full of life, there’s

almost a sense of anticipation about what lies upstairs.

The combination of low lighting and the hustle of a busy kitchen combine to make Aurora a unique experience.

We’ve even got our own car park and lift.

We look forward to welcoming you to Aurora.

We also offer the option to hire Aurora in its entirety for your event, party or function; ideal if you’re looking to host a large number of people, or don’t want to share

your special event with anyone else!

Simply tell us exactly how you’d like your event to work and we’ll do the rest, taking care of everything from

the food options, drinks, live music, marquee hire and anything else you need.

For more information and to discuss your requirements, please call us on 01473 857027.

“CLIVE UNDERDOWN

ON BEHALF OF THE IPSWICH & SUFFOLK BUSINESS CLUB, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR THANKS

FOR THE EXCELLENT LUNCH YOU AND YOUR TEAM PROVIDED FOR OUR MEETING TODAY, WITH OUR

GUEST THE RT. HON. KEN CLARKE MP.

I WAS MOST IMPRESSED WITH YOUR SUPPORT, THE HELPFULNESS OF YOU AND ALL YOUR STAFF

TOGETHER WITH THE REALLY EXCELLENT FOOD PREPARED BY YOUR CHEF AND HIS TEAM.

DESPITE OUR LATE START, YOUR TEAM WORKED HARD TO GIVE US ALL A VERY PLEASURABLE EVENT.

IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS, FOR WHICH I THANK YOU.

“

KAY MCELHINNEY

WE HELD A BIG CELEBRATION HERE AND EVERYONE ENJOYED THEMSELVES VERY MUCH. THE STAFF WERE

VERY HELPFUL WHEN WE WERE PLANNING THE EVENT AND THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT ON THE DAY.

THE FOOD WAS RESTAURANT-QUALITY, NOT MASS-CATERING. THERE WAS GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL,

WITH ORIGINAL CANAPÉ AND PETIT FOUR MENUS.

THE VIEW FROM THE RESTAURANT ADDED TO THE OCCASION. IT WAS VERY RELAXED, AND MOST PEOPLE

STAYED ON AFTER LUNCH AND SAT OUTSIDE ON THE TERRACE IN THE SUNSHINE, DRINKING AND

CHATTING.

“

OLIVER FROST

OUR CHRISTMAS LUNCH FOR 73 PEOPLE WENT WITHOUT A HITCH. THE SERVICE WAS PROMPT

AND FRIENDLY AND FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. THE COCKTAILS WHICH WE ENJOYED AFTER LUNCH

WERE RICH AND VARIED AND CERTAINLY HELPED EVERYONE TO GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

I WAS ESPECIALLY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR ABILITY TO CATER FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIFIC DIETARY REQUIREMENTS EVEN WHEN THESE INCLUDED PROVIDING OPTIONS THAT WERE

NOT ON THE MENU.

Please summarise your selection for each course below:


Please select three different options per course for your party to choose from and

provide these choices to Aurora.•

If another party chooses the menu for that day first, then you may not be able to have the options you have chosen. This is to ensure

a limit to the course variations.•

The first party to provide chosen courses and secure the booking by deposit is the party that

secures the party menus for the evening. We require a non-refundable £10pp deposit in

most instances to secure the booking.•

Please provide the named pre-order 10 days in advance using the enclosed party booking form,

and ensure all guests arrive before the booked seating time. Tables will be held for a

maximum of 15 minutes.•

The party menus are designed for large groups and therefore may be of a slightly less technical

standard than the a la carte menu. The £45 menu is the most in keeping with the standard of

a la carte menu.•

For a la carte ordering, we would still ask you to restrict the course variations to 5 per course.

•Please note seasonal fluctuations, the release

of new menus and in house changes may affect the menu availability especially for

advanced bookings.
