This room was added in 1984 and is naturally used as a reception area either for small parties, or as an extension to users of the Garden Room or the Main Hall. There is a serving hatch to the kitchen behind which allows the serving of pre-cooked food as required. The hall has a premises licence which enables the bar to be used for private functions. |
