We hired the function room for our engagement party and we had the best time! As there was a lot of us (around 60 guests) they very kindly allowed us to have sole use of the function room (where we played our own music) but also have sole use to one side of the bar which worked amazingly for some of the guests that preferred to have a quieter seat inside near the fire.

However, the landlord/chef was excellent and made most of the visit right. Some notable heating in the premises would be nice though. The feeble wood burner would struggle to...
