Norfolk Island, Norfolk Island, Australia This factual yet fun dinner theatre is a great way to learn about Norfolk’s history. The cast of actors will take you on an entertaining journey back in time. Listen to the Commandants’ stories about the notorious Convict Settlements on Norfolk Island and how the convicts were treated by sadists and reformers alike.
Listen to a chilling recall of one of the infamous rebellions. Marvel at how the Commandants and their families adapted to life in a Norfolk Island penal colony, recreating a little piece of England in the Pacific. Explore their great challenges, impressive successes and shameful secrets.
Our venue has created a special three-course dinner menu of traditional English fare to compliment the theatrical setting. Hearty, wholesome, British tucker - fortunately prepared by free men in a modern kitchen not a poor convict over a wood stove!
The Commandants’ Dinner is a night of great entertainment, delectable food and loads of fun. Make it a “must” for your itinerary!!

Such a fun night and the meal was perfect. Highly recommend. We all had lots of laughs but learnt some historical facts which was really interesting.

Tonight we attended the Commandants' dinner and show. 3 actors playing former commandants at different times in the history of the island, recounting their times in charge of convicts, their trials and tribulations, facing revolts, dishing out punishments and generally talking about life on Norfolk Island in the early years. Very informative, educational and lots of puns, jokes and laughs. All whilst enjoying a very nice 3-course dinner. A must when selecting a tour at Norfolk Island.

When our group arrived on Norfolk Island we were surprised how many tours and restaurants we could have the choice of.
Thanks to Helen at Baunti Tours we chose the right ones
On Wednesday : Commandants dinner and show which had us in stitches and the actors ate at our tables with lots of banter and funny lines. 3 course meal was excellent too.
Thursday : we did Baunti Fish Fry outside but under cover with amazing views. The young Pitcairn dancers were graceful and we bought their video. The taste of the fish was the best we ever had! Plus we had seconds and lovely dessert.
Friday :we booked The Progressive dinner when we visited 3 homes for entree, main and dessert. We heard lots of stories about past history and how living on Norfolk is.
The night was entertaining and the meals excellent.
Great we had Debbie the bus driver who shared some info too.
After lots of laughs, a full belly it was nice to be driven back to our accommodation.
Thanks Baunti.
