Conservatory
Our airy, spacious conservatory within the main bistro is
ideal for dinner parties, afternoon teas or birthday
lunches for up to 30. The room can be fully closed off
from the main bistro, whilst still ensuring you the
exceptionally high levels of service we view as standard.

For those summer events where you’re looking for the
wow-factor, what about an outdoor party? Our patios
have ample seating and garden to ensure your guests
have the best of both worlds, whilst you still have the
indoor room just in case the weather doesn’t play ball.
The patio even has its own barbeque, so a bit of ‘surf &

months!
