FUNCTION ROOMS
Mowsbury is the ideal
venue for receptions and parties. The spacious function room can accommodate
up to 90 persons and is fully carpeted with a separate dance floor area.
Refurbished to suit all occasions it has its own licensed bar.
All catering options
can be provided from simple buffet to 5 course meals. Menus can be
individually arranged to suit your particular needs. The friendly and
efficient staff will ensure that you receive individual attention so that
your guests have a relaxing and memorable occasion.
Trophy Room
The
trophy room is located to the side of the lounge bar area and overlooks the
golf course. Rectangular in shape and measuring approximately 7m x 3.5m,
the trophy room is best suited for smaller meetings. It can comfortably
accommodate up to 20 persons. The room is carpeted and can be laid out in
the best way to suit your requirements. It can also be useful as a
'break-away’ or dining room for larger groups using the main function room.
Main Function Room
The
function room is rectangular in shape, measuring approximately 11m x 7m,
with an adjoining alcove of approximately 3.5m x 3.5m providing convenient
access to the bar and to the toilet facilities. The room is fully carpeted
with a separate dance floor area of approximately 4.5m x 3.75m.
The
room can accommodate up to 120 persons, although if seating is required for
all guests when dining we recommend a limit of 60, depending on the layout
of the tables in the room.
The
room is suitable for a wide range of private functions including:
Birthday parties
Wedding receptions
Christenings
Dinners
Work parties
Corporate days
CATERING
Quality catering options can be provided for any function, from breakfast
rolls for a meeting to finger buffets, up to dinners of multiple courses. A
copy of our buffet menu has been included in this pack, with prices listed
per person. Prices for other requirements are dealt with on an individual
basis, depending of course on your specific requirements. Please contact us
for further information or a quotation.
Please be aware that
we do not permit any outside catering and all food must be provided by
ourselves, with the exception of birthday/wedding cakes etc.
Opening Hours
The
Bar is fully licensed from 11am to 11pm, Monday to Saturday and from 12pm to
10.30pm on Sundays. An extension to these hours can be arranged (subject to
licensing approval) for a fee of £10 (this is a direct charge from the
magistrate court and we make no charge ourselves).
Corkage
A
corkage service may be provided by prior arrangement for still or sparkling
wine at a charge of *(price on application) for sparkling wine or champagne,
per 75cl bottle. For your information, approximately 6 small or 4.5
standard sized glasses can be obtained from a 75cl bottle. Corkage on any
other products is not available.
Arrival drinks/wine
- Should you wish to
provide drinks for your guests, we are happy to serve a pre-arranged drink
for each guest as they arrive (such as bucks fizz, sherry or Pimms for a
wedding reception). Similarly, wine can be ordered in advance and we will
serve it as needed. A wine list and pre-order form have been included.
Please note that even with pre-ordered drinks, you of course only pay for
what is used. Alternatively, some clients have chosen to allocate a sum
of money to provide a “free bar” for their guests for a time period. This
practice is more popular at parties.
Please note that other than the
exceptions mentioned under corkage, no drinks (alcoholic or not) may be
consumed that have not been purchased from ourselves.
It is
illegal and against the terms of our license for persons under the age of
eighteen to purchase or consume alcohol on our premises. This is still the
case at private parties or with meals. We would suggest that any guests of
a youthful appearance bring sufficient identification to demonstrate that
they are over 18. We would appreciate your help in conveying this
information to your guests.
Our
Public Entertainment License permits us to host discos or singers/bands
until 12am (10.30pm on Sundays). We would be happy to put you in touch with
a disco that we have used regularly or you can arrange your own. As a
guide, we have found that fees for discos start at around £180 for an
evening, but this would, of course, be for you to arrange with them.
The
layout and shape of our function room lends itself favourably to hosting
business functions in a quiet and private environment. Seminars,
conferences, management meets, presentations and customer invitation days
are welcomed and packages can be tailored for all events to your individual
requirements. Depending on the room layout, up to 80 people can be
accommodated. There is ample power supply for any equipment you may
require. We are happy to provide projectors or screens but will require
suitable notice. A telephone line can be made available if needed although
we regret that Internet access is not possible.
Morning and afternoon
refreshments together with quality lunches or evening meals can be provided
to suit your requirements. Please contact us for a quotation.
