    Discover La Taverna

    Mediterranean flavours. Mexican favourites.

    From fresh seafood and handmade pasta to premium steaks, burgers, tacos, burritos and loaded nachos, there's something for every appetite.

    Proudly Part of the Community Since 1958

    Originally established as The Fairy Meadow Club, the venue officially opened on 18 March 1958 on land once known as Prior's Paddock.

    For generations, it has been a place where locals have come together through sport, friendship and community.

    In October 2024, the club proudly amalgamated with The Fraternity Club, beginning an exciting new chapter as Fraternity Sports.

    While the name has changed, the spirit remains the same—a welcoming place where great food, genuine hospitality and community connection continue to bring people together.
