The Roost Our former Victorian Pub built in 1863 comes with a wealth of beautiful original features. Decorated with an eclectic mix of wall finishes and statement wallpapers and filled with vintage furniture, eccentric props & bold art work. The venue has a cosy homely feel with big fireplaces on the ground floor and large French doors opening onto an attractive planted garden. Large windows provide good natural light throughout.

Important Information
Entertainment
Catering
Live music (bands) and DJs are permitted but you will need to hire or provide a PA system that will cater for your requirements. We have contact details for a company who works with us regularly if you need it.
All our venues have an onsite commercial kitchen for your caterers to work in. We have a list of preferred caterers who know our venues well and do a great job with fantastic food. Please ask the Events Manager to forward you their contact details.
Furniture & Decor
If you use a caterer that is not on the preferred list we charge £400 for the use of the commercial kitchens.
You can use and arrange to your liking any of the amazing furniture and props around the venue but we require that you put it back where it is found. Tables and chairs for a seated dinner would need to be hired. You can do this through your caterers. You can decorate the venue as you wish.
Alcohol For weddings and events you can bring you own alcohol to supply to your guests. We do not charge corkage. Alcohol can only be sold if previously discussed with the Events Manager and a TENS license applied for.
Suppliers Candles are not permitted in our venues as it is a fire hazard. Battery operated tea lights are a good substitute.
We have worked with many exceptional suppliers over the years who may be able to assist with various aspects of your event. Please enquire if you need recommendations when planning your event.
Essential Extras
Access Access to the venue on the day of your event for you and your guests is as follows:
