About The Epicurean Red Hill

The Epicurean Red Hill is a well-known Italian-influenced restaurant, wine bar, and event venue located in Red Hill South on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Set in a converted historic cool store, it’s popular for its ‘cucina’ style share plates, wood-fired pizzas, seasonal local produce, and extensive list of Mornington Peninsula and Victorian wines. In addition to casual dining, The Epicurean Red Hill regularly hosts weddings, private functions, corporate events, and special tasting or showcase dinners, often booked and prepaid in advance via their website or events team.

A charge from “The Epicurean Red Hill” (or a similar descriptor such as “EPICUREAN RED HILL RED HILL SOUTH AUS”) will usually relate to an in-venue restaurant bill, bar tab, takeaway food or wine purchase, or a deposit/final payment for an event, wedding, or group booking. You may also see a charge connected to a gift voucher purchase, a pre-authorisation hold taken when you secure a booking or open a tab, or a cancellation fee if you did not meet the venue’s notice period for changes to group reservations or events. Some charges can post a day or two after your visit, and split payments (e.g., one card for deposit and another for balance) may cause separate line items on your statement.

If you’re unsure about a charge, start by checking recent dining visits to the Mornington Peninsula, event bookings (weddings, engagements, corporate functions), or any gift vouchers you may have purchased through theepicurean.com.au. Look for booking confirmation emails, event proposals, or receipts sent by their restaurant or events team. To resolve billing questions, contact The Epicurean Red Hill directly via the contact details on their website or your confirmation email, providing the date, exact amount, and last four digits of the card used; they can look up your booking, resend invoices or receipts, clarify whether it was a pre-authorisation or final charge, and discuss options if you believe you’ve been charged in error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from The Epicurean Red Hill on my bank statement?

Most charges from The Epicurean Red Hill come from a restaurant visit (food and drinks), a bar tab, or a wine purchase made on-site in Red Hill South. It may also be a deposit or balance payment for a wedding, private event, or group booking that you or someone in your party authorised, or a gift voucher purchased via their website. Check your recent visits to the Mornington Peninsula and any event confirmations you’ve received from them.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by The Epicurean Red Hill?

Casual dining and bar charges often range from around AUD $80–$250 for a couple or small group, depending on food, drinks, and any set menus chosen. Wedding or event deposits are commonly several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the package, while gift vouchers are usually whole dollar amounts (e.g., $50, $100, $200). If your charge matches a round figure, it may be a voucher or a pre-agreed event deposit rather than a standard restaurant bill.

Does The Epicurean Red Hill take pre-authorisation holds on my card?

For some group bookings, event reservations, or when opening a bar tab, The Epicurean Red Hill may place a pre-authorisation hold to confirm your card. This can appear as a pending transaction on your statement and is usually released automatically within a few business days if it’s not converted into a final charge. If you see a small or duplicate pending amount that later disappears, it was likely an authorisation rather than an additional charge.

Could this be a deposit or payment for a wedding or private event at The Epicurean Red Hill?

Yes. The venue is a popular wedding and function space, and it commonly collects deposits and staged payments for weddings, engagements, and corporate events. These payments are often processed against the card details you provided to their events team and will appear under a descriptor related to The Epicurean Red Hill. Check your event proposal, payment schedule, and any invoices emailed by their events coordinator to match the amount and date.

How do I cancel or change a booking to avoid extra charges from The Epicurean Red Hill?

For restaurant reservations, you typically need to cancel or amend your booking within the notice period outlined in your confirmation email to avoid late-cancellation or no-show fees, especially for larger groups or special events. For weddings and private functions, the contract or event agreement will specify cut-off dates for cancellations, reductions in numbers, and deposit forfeiture. Always contact the restaurant or your assigned events coordinator directly (via phone or the contact form on theepicurean.com.au) as early as possible to discuss changes.

If an error is confirmed, they can process an adjustment or refund back to your card according to their policies.

How do refunds or charge reversals from The Epicurean Red Hill appear on my statement?

Approved refunds are usually processed back to the same card used for the original transaction and may take 3–10 business days to appear, depending on your bank.
