About Rag & Famish Hotel

Rag & Famish Hotel is a historic corner pub in North Sydney, New South Wales, known for its classic Australian hotel atmosphere, heritage façade, and multi-level layout. The venue offers several bar areas, a bistro serving modern pub food, a popular beer garden, TAB and live sports screens, and function spaces for corporate events and private celebrations. Located within walking distance of North Sydney’s business district and public transport, it caters to local workers, residents, and event groups with lunch, dinner, drinks, and regular promotions.

A charge from Rag & Famish Hotel may appear on your bank or card statement when you pay for food or drinks at the bar or bistro, settle a bar tab, or pay for a function booking or group event. You might also see a charge for a pre-authorised bar tab, room or table booking deposit, or catering for a private function. Some banks display the trading name slightly differently (e.g., “RAG & FAMISH HOTEL NORTH SYDNEY” or similar), and you may see multiple charges if you ordered at different bars within the venue, split bills, or left tips.

If you don’t immediately recognise the charge, start by checking whether you or someone in your household visited North Sydney around the transaction date, especially for work drinks, lunch, after-work events, or a private function. Review your email for booking confirmations or receipts from ragandfamish.com.au, and check any corporate or group event organisers who may have used your card. To resolve questions, contact the hotel directly using the phone number or contact form listed on their official website, and provide the exact transaction date, time, and amount so staff can look up the bill, bar tab, or function payment and send a copy of the receipt or clarify any discrepancies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Rag & Famish Hotel charge on my card when I only opened a bar tab?

Rag & Famish Hotel may place a pre-authorisation (a temporary hold) on your card when you open a bar tab or start a tab for a group. This can appear as a pending charge on your statement and is usually for the amount you specify or a standard security amount. When the tab is closed and the final bill is processed, the pre-authorisation is adjusted or released, and only the final payment should remain. Depending on your bank, the hold may take a few business days to disappear.

What are typical charge amounts from Rag & Famish Hotel?

Common charges include small transactions for single drinks or meals, mid-range bills for group lunches or dinners, and larger amounts for corporate events or private functions that include food and bar packages. If you see a higher amount than expected, it may include a bar tab, shared group bill, function minimum spend, or a combined food-and-drinks account. Check with anyone who may have used your card for work or social events at the pub.

I booked a function at Rag & Famish Hotel—why was I charged a deposit?

For private functions and group bookings, Rag & Famish Hotel typically requires a deposit or prepayment to secure the space, catering, or bar package. This deposit is usually deducted from your final bill on the day or retained according to the venue’s function terms and conditions. The charge may appear on your statement a few days after you provide card details to confirm the booking. Review your function booking confirmation email or contact the events team via the website if you’re unsure what the deposit covers.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or bar tab from Rag & Famish Hotel?

If you need a receipt, contact the hotel directly using the phone number or email listed on ragandfamish.com.au and provide the transaction date, approximate time, and amount, plus the last four digits of the card used. Staff can usually look up your transaction in their point-of-sale system and email or print a copy of the tax invoice. For corporate expenses, it helps to also mention the company name or function name if it was a work event.

How do I dispute or query a Rag & Famish Hotel charge I don’t recognise?

First, confirm with family members, colleagues, or anyone who may have used your card whether they visited Rag & Famish Hotel on the transaction date. If it’s still unfamiliar, contact the venue directly with the exact date, time, amount, and name on the card so they can investigate the transaction and check matching receipts or tabs. If the venue cannot locate the charge or you still believe it is fraudulent, contact your bank or card issuer to formally dispute the transaction and request a chargeback if appropriate.

Can I cancel a function or booking and get my deposit back from Rag & Famish Hotel?

Refunds and cancellations for functions or large bookings are subject to the hotel’s function and booking policy, which may include notice periods and non-refundable deposit conditions. Check the terms sent with your function confirmation email or on their website. To request a cancellation or discuss a refund, contact the events or management team directly through the contact details on ragandfamish.com.au.

Why do I see more than one Rag & Famish Hotel transaction on the same day?

Multiple same-day charges can occur if you made separate purchases at different bars or registers, split bills with friends, or ran a tab and also paid for an additional round separately. In some cases, you may see both a pre-authorisation hold and the final charge until the hold is released by your bank. Review your receipts and ask anyone who was with you whether they used your card for part of the visit.

How do I contact Rag & Famish Hotel about a billing or payment issue?

Visit ragandfamish.com.au and go to the Contact or Functions section to find the venue’s phone number and email address. Calling during business hours is often the fastest way to resolve a payment question, as staff can check the point-of-sale system while you’re on the line. When you contact them, have your statement handy with the transaction date, time, and amount so they can quickly locate the relevant bill or bar tab.
