Large windows fill the room with natural light and look out across the garden, where you’ll often see birds visiting and the changing seasons throughout the year

Private Dining for 8–20 Guests

You can gather for a three-course meal, a relaxed afternoon tea or a barbecue buffet, all served in a welcoming space where your group can settle in and enjoy time together.
It works well for family occasions, groups of friends, celebrations and local networking groups. You don’t need to be staying with us to enjoy private dining.
