Weddings & Parties

Over the years, we have been lucky to hold many great weddings and parties.  We are so committed to hosting your special event, the Inn has its own wedding and function co-ordinator whose sole role is to take care of every detail and to ensure your expectations are fulfilled.  The Inn is licensed to conduct civil marriage ceremonies.

The Inn is arranged as such to facilitate an event of almost any size.  Two large separate rooms are interconnected by large glazed folding doors which allows you to use either both or a combination of the facilities depending upon your needs.

The air conditioned Garden Room is our largest function room and with its open oak beamed ceiling and vast glazing this dining room has splendid views of Boulsworth and the magnificent vista the inn benefits from with being in a hill top rural location.  With a seated dining capacity suitable for 80 or buffet / party capacity of 100-120, and with its own bar and separate entrance to the Inn this is a splendid room to host a wedding reception, private party or special event.

In addition our lounge with its own private entrance from the terrace at the front of the Inn and with its panelled wall, oak floor, real fires and own private bar is another splendid room to host any event.  With a seated dining capacity suitable for 50 or buffet / party capacity of 60-70, this room is often booked for wedding civil ceremonies, evening receptions, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, funerals and corporate events.  The lounge is connected by two very large folding doors giving access to our Garden Room which increases this rooms capacity and adds flexibility.

Many wedding events at the Inn combine the use of both of the function rooms with the formal civil ceremony being held in the lounge, followed by a wedding breakfast in the Garden Room and then a return to the Lounge for the evening celebrations.  However for larger evening gatherings both rooms can be used together giving a party capacity of up to 200.  This is complemented by use of the heated outside terrace at the front of the Inn which on a summers evening,  gives even more accommodation.  For even larger events, a marquee at either the front or the back is also an available option or the Inn can be reserved solely for your function.

The Inn also has ten very comfortable ensuite bedrooms with honey moon suite, as well as a ground floor room, specifically designed for the less able making it ideal to accommodate elderly relatives or those who struggle with stairs.

Menu Options

Our aim is to produce seriously good food for every occasion, whatever the size of the party, and so to ensure quality and a high standard of service we recommend you select one starter, one main course and one desert when planning your event with the options of a vegetarian alternative and an additional desert for children, however we are happy to accommodate any requirement.
