BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS
WEST LODGE
AND MAITLAND ROOM
FULL OF CHARACTER
Completely refurbished in 2019, the West Lodge and Maitland Rooms have benefited from substantial improvement to the décor, lighting and furniture, providing a beautiful environment for lunches, private dinners and networking events. Full of character with intricate mirrors and ornate friezes, these two traditional rooms date back to the nineteenth century.
DINING
With patio doors opening out on to the West Lodge Garden of Howard Court, the West Lodge and Maitland Rooms are an ideal venue for private dinners, receptions and parties.
Our Gala Dinner choices use fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients where possible and are cooked to perfection, with a range of accompanying wines to choose from. We offer a wide variety of dishes including meat, vegetarian and fish options. Dinners include silverware, fresh cut flowers, candelabras and table linen as standard, as well as the personal addition of menu cards and directional signage created for your event.
