About Dawson

In the heart of Kew, Dawson is a modern venue serving up delicious Italian lunches and dinners until late. Dawson opened in October 2017 and seats 100 guests in a slick but relaxed dining area with a long bar, a semi-open kitchen and high ceilings with light wells.

From birthday parties to corporate events and everything in between, our semi-private mezzanine space can accommodate for up to 50 guests seated. For functions and group bookings of 50 - 100 guests, exclusive venue hire is available; please note minimum spend applies for exclusive venue hire.

We believe great food is best served with friends and family so our two food packages are designed to be shared. Both begin with delicious Italian antipasto and small plates followed by either pizzas or meats and sides. We can cater to all dietary requirements - there’s something for everyone to love.

Our drink packages are the perfect addition to any event. Choose from our basic or premium package and enjoy a great selection of wines and beers to keep your guests' glasses full throughout the night. Alternatively, opt for a bar tab where you can set a limit for your guests to enjoy drinks of your choice. Whichever option you choose, our friendly staff will ensure a seamless experience, allowing you to relax and enjoy the celebration.

Custom package requests welcome, please make an enquiry and one of our friendly team members will be in touch!
