GROUPS

Groups and private hire

From ten people upward, a visit becomes a programme: we hold the guide, the room and the table for your date, and we build the schedule around what you came for. Three ways in — an outing among friends, an organised group arriving by coach or from a school, or a company taking the place for a seminar or a reception. Tell us the date, how many you are and what you would like; we reply with a proposal, and nothing is paid before the terms are agreed.

Between friends

Between friends

A birthday, a club outing, a stag or hen party, friends meeting again. We hold the guide and the table, and the schedule follows what you came for.
