Charming

The Union Bank—affectionately known as "The UB" to locals—is a unique dining destination in the heart of Orange. With its rich heritage charm, it offers a variety of spaces to explore and enjoy.

At the Schoolhouse Restaurant, our flagship dining space, we take all bookings. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, our stunning courtyard connects all areas and offers the perfect casual setting. While we don’t take bookings for the courtyard, you’re welcome to request it in your booking notes, and if the weather cooperates, we’ll be happy to seat you outside!

For group dining, The UB offers several private spaces, ideal for gatherings of 8 to 40 people. Whether you're hosting a business meeting or celebrating a special occasion, we have the perfect setting for you.

No matter the event, The UB has you covered!

Amazing grilled whole barramundi with an accompanying cous cous. More than enough for my partner and I. Paired with Orange wines, it was an experience to remember. We always ensure we have the Union Bank fix when we visit. Well done chef and staff!

Ambience was great as well as service. Sirloin steak we thought was slightly undercooked as med-rare. Had we known we should have asked for medium.

The service and the food was exceptional although we were rushed from the moment we sat down. So the experience was not enjoyable and definitely would not be recommending it if you were thinking about going there and spending the afternoon relaxing and enjoying yourself. I’m not sure about everybody else although when I get a bottle of wine, I really don’t want to be drinking it within an hour. I like to take my time. I like to saviour my food, so very disappointed.

The food is amazing and so is the service... just the time waiting for the food to arrive can be frustrating.

My husband and I enjoyed an outstanding evening. We especially liked the share style menu accompanied by a huge selection of beverages. The service was through, and our host was super helpful with suggesting things to try, and boy did it deliver 20/10. If you haven’t been you’re missing out.
