About The Tambrey

The Tambrey is a long‑established pub and bistro located in Nickol, a suburb of Karratha in Western Australia. It operates as a family‑friendly venue with a large beer garden, indoor and outdoor dining, kids’ play areas, sports screens, and multiple function spaces suitable for events, parties, and corporate gatherings. In addition to the bar and bistro, The Tambrey has an adjacent bottle shop, allowing guests to purchase takeaway beer, wine, and spirits. Current menus, opening hours, and event information are available on their website at thetambrey.com.au.

A charge from “THE TAMBREY”, “TAMBREY TAVERN”, “TAMBREY NICKOL”, or a similar description on your bank or card statement usually relates to purchases made at their bar, bistro, or bottle shop in Nickol. Common reasons include food and drink purchases, bar tabs, function or event bookings, or takeaway liquor from the attached bottle shop. You may also see a charge if you paid a deposit for a private function, purchased tickets to a special event (such as live entertainment or themed nights), or if an authorization hold was placed when opening a tab or confirming a booking. In some cases, split bills, group payments, or tips added at the terminal can make the final amount look different from the original receipt.

If you don’t recognize a Tambrey charge, first think back to any recent visits to pubs, bistros, or bottle shops in the Karratha/Nickol area, including group dinners or work functions, and check any receipts, email confirmations, or text messages from the venue. Look at the transaction date and time and compare it with your calendar or photos/messages from that day. If you still have questions, contact The Tambrey directly using the details on thetambrey.com.au or by calling the venue during trading hours; provide the exact charge amount, date, and the last four digits of the card so staff can look it up in their point‑of‑sale system. For potential errors or incorrect amounts, your bank or card issuer can also assist with disputing a transaction after you’ve tried resolving it with the venue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from THE TAMBREY or TAMBREY NICKOL on my bank statement?

This usually means you made a purchase at The Tambrey’s bar, bistro, or adjacent bottle shop in Nickol, Western Australia. It can relate to food and drinks consumed on‑site, a bar tab, or takeaway alcohol. Consider any recent visits to Karratha pubs, work functions, or dinners with friends, as the transaction name on your statement may differ slightly from how you remember the venue’s name.

Can The Tambrey set up a bar tab, and how does that appear on my statement?

Yes, The Tambrey commonly opens bar tabs where your card is pre‑authorized at the start and then charged the final amount when you close the tab. On your bank statement you’ll typically see either one final charge (the completed tab) or an initial temporary authorization followed by the final total. If the pre‑authorization doesn’t match your final spend, the hold generally drops off automatically after a few business days, leaving only the correct charge.

Why is there a small or duplicate ‘pending’ charge from The Tambrey on my card?

A small or duplicate pending charge is often an authorization hold placed when you start a bar tab, order at the counter with a card pre‑auth, or secure a booking. This hold verifies your card but is not the final amount. The pending entry should be released by your bank within a few business days, leaving only the actual final transaction. If a pending hold remains for more than a week, contact your bank and, if needed, The Tambrey for confirmation.

Does The Tambrey offer event or function bookings, and how are deposits billed?

The Tambrey has function spaces for events, parties, and corporate bookings, and these often require an upfront deposit or minimum spend guarantee. Deposits are usually charged as a separate transaction at the time of booking and may appear on your statement before the event date. After the event, any remaining balance, bar tab, or catering costs will be processed as another charge. Your event confirmation email or function agreement will outline the deposit and payment schedule.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or check what was included in a Tambrey charge?

To obtain a receipt copy, contact The Tambrey directly using the phone number or contact form listed on thetambrey.com.au. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the exact transaction amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can search their till or EFTPOS records. They can usually confirm what area of the venue processed the payment (bar, bistro, or bottle shop) and, where possible, provide a reprinted or summarized receipt.

How do I request a refund or dispute a charge from The Tambrey?

If you believe you’ve been overcharged, charged twice, or charged in error, reach out to The Tambrey first, as they can review their point‑of‑sale records and process a refund where appropriate. Have your statement details ready (amount, date, and card type) and any receipts or booking confirmations. If you cannot resolve the issue directly with the venue or suspect unauthorized use of your card, contact your bank or card issuer to report the transaction and start a dispute or chargeback investigation.

Can I cancel or change a function or group booking at The Tambrey and get my deposit back?

Cancellation and refund eligibility for deposits depend on the specific terms agreed when you booked your function at The Tambrey. Many venues have time‑based cut‑offs where deposits are refundable or transferable if you cancel with sufficient notice, but may become non‑refundable close to the event date. Check your original booking confirmation or contact the venue’s functions team to discuss rescheduling or refund options.

Why does the Tambrey charge amount not match what I remember spending?

There are a few reasons the amount may differ: a tip added at the EFTPOS terminal, items added to a bar tab later in the night, group orders combined onto one bill, or a function package being charged as a single total. Also, if you visited both the bistro and bottle shop, multiple purchases could be done on the same card around the same time. Reviewing your receipts or requesting a transaction breakdown from The Tambrey can clarify any differences.
