OUR SPACES

The funeral is the send off for a loved one and we believe that the flexibility of the venue is absolutely key. We provide bespoke buffets, order in a favourite drink, run a tab behind the bar and quite simply be as helpful as is possible. They may only be small things, but we believe that they make all the difference.

We have two wonderful spaces that are appropriate for this special day; our ground floor lounge and our grand Ballroom are both available for exclusive use. 

THE LOUNGE - for up to 40 guests

Situated on the ground floor of The Royal Hotel, the Lounge offers a space adjacent to the bar for guests to relax and mingle with family and friends.

 

The Lounge is perfect for groups of up to 40 guests and is available for exclusive use (Tuesday to Friday daytimes) over a 3 hour period for £75 exclusive hire. 

 

The lounge can also accommodate smaller numbers for non- exclusive use.
