We are also happy to consider any proposals you may have for the complete hire of the pub - be it as a film location, screening suite or as the ultimate venue for your Christmas party. We are also happy to discuss buffet catering, with buffet menus tailored to suit your requirements and budget.
As this is such a tricky blighter to quote for, we recommend you get in touch with us to discuss your requirements. As a rule of thumb, we require either a minimum spend guarantee, or a combination of catering and other spend with the levels varying depending on the date you require (for example – a busy Friday in December or Champions League Final will cost a lot more than a quiet Monday in early January....).
