A Jindalee restaurant owner launched a successful parkside pop-up last year, after listening to the wants of northern suburbs families.

The Beach House started the Cubby House series last summer, expanding their restaurant dining experience into a family-friendly activation at the adjoining Eden Beach Foreshore Park.

The popular parkside pop-up – which won the 2022 City of Wanneroo Business Awards Visitor Experience Award – offered a place for the community to connect while enjoying live entertainment, free activations, food and drinks in the outdoors.

The Beach House owner Mat Walker said there were young families moving into the northern suburbs corridor who were seeking out no-fuss, comfortable dining.

“We wanted to cater to all residents – our dining room is a table service experience, lending itself to special occasions or a nice dinner out,” he said.

“The Cubby House is just really chill, you don’t have to dress up and can stop by with the kids or the dog after a swim at the beach.

“Kids enjoy the playground and kick the footy, parents can have a drink and burger in the sunshine while they watch them.”

The Cubby House 2021/22 summer series featured lawn games, face painting, a bouncy castle, petting zoo and live music, and also ran several special events in with the City and Satterley including a Christmas Festival, Easter Festival and a market day.

Mat said they were proud to feature music from northern suburbs artists and also expanded the operation to sell coffee, breakfast wraps and burgers on weekend mornings.

To help kick-start the business securing this live entertainment, The Beach House received a grant through the City’s Economic Recovery Funding, which supported local businesses to recover from the financial impacts of COVID-19.
