Planning a funeral reception or celebration of life is a deeply personal experience, and choosing the right setting is an important part of honouring your loved one.

For an Intimate Gathering

If you’re planning a smaller, more private gathering for fewer than 20 guests, The Old Stables Restaurant is an ideal choice. This cosy, welcoming venue offers a peaceful environment for close family and friends to gather. With bookings available for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it provides the perfect setting for a reflective and personal reception, where memories can be shared in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.

For Small to Mid-Sized Receptions

For gatherings of between 30 and 60 guests, Fletcher’s Bar offers a traditional and warm interior, complete with its own private bar. This space is perfect for those looking for a more casual, relaxed reception. The venue also opens up to our outdoor beer garden, providing guests with a comfortable environment to celebrate a life well-lived. Fletcher’s Bar is particularly suited for those who prefer a more informal gathering, allowing for easy conversation and connection.

For receptions with over 120 guests, Fletcher’s Marquee offers a versatile and spacious setting. In the winter, it is fully enclosed and heated, featuring a large screen and starlit ceiling, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. During the warmer months, the marquee opens up, providing an airy and open-ended space with a peaceful outdoor ambience. With its private bar and flexible layout, Fletcher’s Marquee is ideal for those who need a larger venue to accommodate a wide circle of family and friends.
