I used to live around Pyrmont. I frequented the line of 5-6 small eateries along Harris Street/Allen Street. There is the Sushi Club - very good value, or you could try the Indian one. There is also the Star City - lots of inexpensive meal deals, except that minors are not admitted into the dining area inside (Trophys Bar).

I like this idea, somewhat. One of the benefits of Golden Harbour has been the fixed cost per head; making it easy for Ken to make sure everyone coughs up. If we had something that wasn't fixed price, there's the laborious matching between what you ordered and what you paid. Either of these pubs would solve that problem - if you want food, go pay for it yourself. Other groups (SyPy for instance) do this regularly, and it works well for them. However, it's not without flaws:one being that a pub is going to be packed at 9am on Friday. More importantly though, we have quite a few minors who regularly come to dinner - including one of the committee - and I don't know if they'd be able to get into the pub. I know we've avoided The Point for committee meals in the past because of the "Under 18s not allowed in here, ever, under any circumstances, even if accompanied by real people^W^Wadults" signs. I'd be interested in the community reaction to the idea of either a pub; or some other non-fixed-price-per-head venue.
