If you’re not quite sure you need a large private space with all the bells and whistles, we have several seating areas inside the venue and in our garden that are perfect for more intimate and relaxed celebrations. The tables will be reserved for you and your guests only, with the rest of the venue open to the public as normal. In the event of bad weather for garden bookings, we will do our best on the day to accommodate you inside the pub, however this may not always be possible if we are fully booked. A deposit is required to secure your booking which can be used towards food or drink costs on the day. There are no hire fees or minimum spend.
