Sustainable Seafood
Chicken & Chorizo
Vegetarian/Vegan.
Our Paellas are made with the freshest and highest quality of produce including fresh boneless chicken, high quality authentic mild chorizo, and fresh seasonal vegetables. We do not compromise on quality or abundance. The paellas are cooked 100% from scratch right in front of all your guests and we feel they have the finest flavours of any paella in Melbourne. Your guests will enjoy watching the visual display, the cooking technique, the aromas, and eventually the delicious main course.
Dietary requirements - no problem! Paella is 100% gluten free, dairy free, nut free, healthy, and absolutely delicious! Our vegetarian paella is also suitable for vegans.

Junior Accomodation Policy - Update
An important component of patrolling at Woolamai Beach Surf Life Saving Club is the ability to stay overnight at the Clubhouse. This provides members with a unique experience, social opportunities, and most importantly increases the Club’s ability to attract patrolling members for a whole weekend or multiple days.
The Woolamai Beach SLSC Board has endorsed the following interim policy for junior member accommodation at the Clubhouse. The Board will monitor this policy over the coming months before endorsing a longer term approach.
To read more about our Junior Accomodation Policy, please click here - https://www.woolamaibeach.org.au/accommodation-policy
We thank our members for your patience and hope to see you down at the club soon.
