Enjoy club bar prices on a wide range of beers, ciders, spirits, wines and soft drinks, served from our modern bar right next to the function room. Your guests will not need to go far for a refill, and our experienced bar team will keep queues moving throughout the night.
For food, many hosts choose to arrange their own buffet or outside caterer, while others work with local suppliers we can recommend. Talk to us about your plans – we will explain what works best in the room, where to set up food, and any timings that help everything run smoothly.
