Events & Celebrations

Whenever you have reason to celebrate, it’s only natural to head to the pub (it’s human nature – isn’t it?)

Bucket-loads of space to spread out in the pub, fab food & drinks, private spaces, and plenty of bedrooms just upstairs? Well, that makes our pub pretty much perfect for any (and every) toast-able occasion.

If you’re throwing a big birthday bash, have recently got engaged (ooh, congrats to you) or you’ve been elected to organise the company knees-up – look no further. As well as our just-right-for-a-pint bar, we’ve also got Penshurst room – which gives off serious outside/inside vibes – Hadlow Room, which is bob-on for meetings – and bookable huts outside too.

With our hotel-y type bedrooms just above the pub, your guests haven’t far to travel to rest their heads after a night of partying, or a day of brainstorming. A cracking breakfast in the pub the next morning will set them up, ready them for the day ahead.

If you’re looking to break out of the boardroom, book a quiet spot in the pub for a breakfast brainstorm or brainstorm incredible ideas with your team over coffee, then this is the spot for you.

Also, swap the teapots for wine bottles and you’ve got yourself a blooming lovely space to host a private dinner.

80th Birthday Celebrations

We were a group of 14 great friends celebrating my husband’s 80th birthday. We had a brilliant time, the food was delicious and the team looked after us so well, they were all so kind and friendly. A special mention to Paula who was so attentive and looked after us all with such kindness. We were able to go in earlier to decorate the room and tables. We are delighted with everything. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to celebrate!
