About Shell Club

Corio locals head to Shell Club for dependable bistro classics in a dining room built for easy multi-generational feeds. Wide aisles leave plenty of space for prams and wheelchairs, while balanced acoustics let everyone talk across the table without shouting. Families and large tables gather over chicken parmigianas, calamari, and crisp onion rings, backed by warm dinner rolls and attentive floor staff who keep celebratory cakes and big orders running smoothly. Private milestones shift easily outdoors through a dedicated function room with direct garden access, or wrap up over a slice of lemon meringue dessert.

  • Accessible, Uncrowded Layout: Generous table spacing and clear walkways readily accommodate wheelchairs and prams.
  • Garden-Access Function Space: A dedicated private room connects directly to outdoor gardens for group milestone gatherings.
  • Weekend Seniors Offerings: Budget-friendly seniors menus remain available through Saturday lunch service.

  • Effortless Group and Milestone Dining

    Whether serving a party of 13 or an anniversary of 60 ordering individually, large groups receive generous, freshly prepared meals served in good time.

    Our meals were served in good time especially since there was about 60 of us & everyone had ordered their own meal selection.

  • Spacious and Fully Accessible Layout

    The dining room is arranged with generous spacing between tables, allowing effortless navigation for wheelchairs and prams without feeling crowded.

    Mum is in a wheelchair so I absolutely love the room there, tables are not crowded together like every other place we go to these days

  • Comfortable Acoustics for Easy Conversation

    Even with a full house, the open dining space maintains comfortable acoustics that allow table guests to converse naturally without straining.

    Even though the venue is large , I found that the acoustics were great. Not often you can go to a venue and hear the people on your table.

    We had a private room with garden access which was great for our guests.

    Great to have the seniors meal available on a Saturday and you even get a bread roll, plus who can beat a $5 pavlova!
