Welcome to

PONTE BAR AND DINING

Ponte is a modern waterfront function centre in Nowra set alongside the southern bank of the stunning Shoalhaven River. With vast water views from all tables, Ponte boasts an enclosed balcony, an atmospheric dining room, and a bar/lounge area seating up to 120 guests.

We are thrilled to announce that Ponte Bar & Dining has officially transformed into a dedicated Wedding & Function Centre, providing an exclusive venue for your special events.

Our restaurant has moved to a new location at Worrigee Ex-Servos, where we’ve taken over The Growers and are now proudly trading as “The Growers by Ponte.”

We are now open at our new location from the 9th of August, The Growers by Ponte, located at 131 Greenwell Point Rd, Worrigee. Join us for lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, and for a delightful Sunday lunch.

Rest assured, all valid Ponte Gift Vouchers will be honored at our new venue. We can’t wait to welcome you to The Growers by Ponte, and we deeply appreciate your continued love and support.

We Believe

Food Is Important

Food is everything to us.
And that’s why we designed our menu to be shared. We want to encourage our customers to try something new and enjoy the conversations that flow when food is passed around between family and friends.
