WHAT IS PRIVATE DINING?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Private dining<\/a> offers the best of both worlds; luxurious restaurant-quality service combined with the intimacy of a private setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Private dining is the perfect setting for intimate occasions as well as larger parties. This style of dining enables you and your guests to enjoy a truly memorable fine dining experience in the intimacy of your own dedicated space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Private dining is a truly versatile solution and can be tailored around any occasion. It boasts many elements to compliment an array of both corporate and personal events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Offering a luxurious feel of both intimacy and exclusivity, private dining events offer an ideal solution for numerous occasions including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n A private dining area is a secluded space, section or room within a restaurant or venue where you can enjoy a dining experience with a select number of guests away from the main restaurant. They\u2019re perfect for small weddings, birthday parties, and corporate meetings and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a distinguished space for dining with stunning features, such as the tin ceiling tiles, statement floor and burnt iron chandelier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A refined ambience and character in abundance, the Sample Room can be used on its own for standalone receptions or with The Pasteur Room to create a separate arrival drinks and\/or after party area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This room is ideal for small awards receptions with space for standing catering or, in true cinema style, usherettes can deliver food to the auditorium. Perfect for a unique private dining experience to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Theming your event immediately elevates your occasion to an experience and plays a vital part in shaping the entire occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deciding on the overall event theme is a great first step and will tend to shape other key elements once established. From informal platters of nibbles, to formal events with silver service, the theme you choose will have a dramatic impact on the style, feel and atmosphere of the entire event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The beauty of fine dining experiences is the versatility of the cuisine on offer, and when it comes to private dining, the food is the ultimate focal point. With so much focus on the culinary experience, it\u2019s crucial the menu selection is perfectly suited to the occasion, your guests\u2019 taste buds and, ultimately, your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are looking for an informal, relaxed dining experience for your guests, sharing platters showcasing your favourite cuisine for a \u2018tear and share\u2019- style experience is the answer. This enables your guests to tempt their palettes with a variety of dishes and share in the group feasting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, if you are looking for a more formal affair, why not turn heads with a delicious set menu served on a silver service?<\/p>\n\n\n\n When planning your event, ensure you thoroughly research dietary requirements to ensure your loved ones are perfectly catered for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discussing vegetarian and vegan options<\/a>, as well as specific allergies, will ensure all guests can enjoy the food, won\u2019t feel alienated and can fully immerse themselves in the celebrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When choosing your private dining room, there a few key questions it\u2019s beneficial to ask during the planning stages. Examples could include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bottom line is of pivotal importance when it comes to event planning. The overall cost per head will impact significantly on the size of venue you select, the style of cuisine and the number of guests you invite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure when looking at costs per head, drinks are also factored into the fee, so you don\u2019t have any surprises when it comes to settling the bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When planning a luxury private dining room experience, you want everyone on your guest list to be able to make it, so choosing the location of your event is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A centrally-located venue will not only be convenient for your guests but will also give plenty of options for transport links, increasing the likelihood that they\u2019ll be able to attend.
