As the outdoor area is all connected to the same speaker system, we will only be able to allow short speeches (5-10 minutes maximum) as we will have to turn the music down in the whole of the outdoor area, and this will affect all the other groups that we have booked outside.

We do have a microphone, which we will need to be notified of in advance if you are wanting to use, as we will need to have this set up (minimum one week notice).

With regards to playing your personal music, we only allow specific playlists or DJs for venue-exclusive events, outside of that we provide our own playlist for entertainment.

Absolutely, we are more than happy to accommodate guests with specific dietary requirements. Our offerings include options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and nut allergy needs. However, it's important to note that even though we take every reasonable precaution to meet these dietary needs, we cannot guarantee that the food is completely free of allergens. This is because all food preparation takes place in the same kitchen, which handles nuts, shellfish, gluten, and eggs.

To ensure we cater to your dietary requirements, please make them known when discussing your booking with our team. This way, we can work together to provide you and your guests with a dining experience that is both enjoyable and safe. If you have any further questions or need additional information, feel free to reach out to us. We are committed to making your event as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for all attendees.
