About Saint Peter

Saint Peter is a high-end seafood restaurant located within The Grand National Hotel in Paddington, Sydney. Helmed by chef Josh Niland, it is internationally recognised for its pioneering ‘scale-to-tail’ philosophy, where every part of the fish is utilised, from fillets and offcuts to skin and offal, often appearing in charcuterie, snacks and even desserts. The restaurant offers set lunch and degustation dinner experiences, showcasing Australian line-caught and sustainably farmed seafood alongside seasonal local produce in an intimate dining room and adjacent bar.

A charge from “SAINT PETER” on a card statement is typically for a dining experience at the restaurant or bar, which may include a multi-course tasting menu, bar à la carte dishes, beverages, service charges, or gift cards. Pricing is premium, with indicative per-person set menu prices published on their site and subject to change with seasonal availability. In some cases you may see a pre-authorisation or holding charge when making or confirming a reservation, or when an accommodation-and-dining package associated with The Grand National Hotel is booked through the same operation.

If you are unsure about a charge, first check any booking confirmation emails from Saint Peter, receipts from your visit, or accommodation package details connected to The Grand National Hotel. You can verify reservations and charges by contacting the venue directly using the phone number or email listed on their official website. For discrepancies, reach out promptly with the date of visit, booking name, and the last four digits of the card used so the team can locate the transaction; if the issue cannot be resolved with the restaurant, you can then contact your bank to dispute the charge, providing them with any supporting documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of charges might I see from Saint Peter on my card statement?

You may see charges for a multi-course degustation menu, a set lunch menu, à la carte food and drinks in the Saint Peter bar, or the purchase of gift cards or special dine-and-stay packages at The Grand National Hotel. Occasionally, there may also be a temporary pre-authorisation linked to a booking, which should drop off after your visit if it was not converted into a final charge.

Why is my Saint Peter charge higher than the menu price I saw online?

Saint Peter’s online menus are indicative and subject to change with seasonal availability, and the final bill can include extras such as additional courses, supplements, beverages, and any applicable surcharges. Check your itemised receipt (or request a copy via email) to see the breakdown of the tasting menu, drinks, and any extras that were added during your visit.

How can I modify or cancel a reservation to avoid unwanted charges from Saint Peter?

To change or cancel a booking, use the reservation link provided in your confirmation email or visit the Reservations section of saintpeter.com.au and follow the prompts. Because cancellation policies and cut-off times may apply, always review the policy in your confirmation email—late cancellations or no-shows can incur a fee charged to the card used to secure the booking.

How do I request a refund or adjustment for a charge from Saint Peter?

If you believe you were overcharged or charged in error, contact Saint Peter directly using the phone number or email listed on saintpeter.com.au, providing your booking name, visit date, and a copy or photo of the card statement entry. They can review the transaction against their point-of-sale records and, if appropriate, process a refund or adjustment back to your card.

Does Saint Peter place pre-authorisation or holding charges on my card?

Yes, depending on the reservation terms, Saint Peter may place a pre-authorisation or take card details to secure bookings, especially for peak times, large groups, or special events. These holds can appear as pending charges and are typically released automatically by your bank if no cancellation fee or final bill is processed against them.

Can a Saint Peter charge be related to The Grand National Hotel accommodation?

Yes. Saint Peter operates within The Grand National Hotel, and some dine-and-stay packages or in-house dining charged to a room can appear on your statement under the restaurant’s name or a combined descriptor. If you stayed at the hotel, review your folio or contact the hotel/restaurant team to confirm which dining and accommodation charges were bundled together.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Saint Peter visit?

If you did not receive or keep your printed receipt, you can email the team at the address listed on saintpeter.com.au with your booking name, date and approximate time of dining, and the last four digits of your card. They can generally retrieve the transaction from their system and send you an itemised receipt for your records.

Is Saint Peter a recurring subscription or membership charge?

No. Saint Peter is a restaurant and bar, so charges are usually one-off transactions tied to a specific visit, event, gift card, or dine-and-stay package. If you see multiple Saint Peter charges, they are likely from separate bookings or visits, not from an automatic subscription; review your calendar and emails for multiple reservations or contact the restaurant to clarify each transaction.
