Whether you're organising a community event, training session, family celebration or private function, the kitchen helps make catering arrangements simple and convenient. Its flexible layout allows organisers, volunteers and catering teams to work efficiently throughout their event.

Kitchen Features

• Food preparation area

• Serving facilities

• Sink and washing-up facilities

• Access to power outlets for catering equipment

• Suitable for hot and cold refreshments

• Convenient access from both hall spaces

• 5 star food hygiene rating

The kitchen is included with your hire regardless of which room you book. If you require exclusive use of the kitchen please book this alongside your chosen space.

To help us maintain the facility for all users, we ask that hirers clean as they go, leave the kitchen in the condition it was found and remove all rubbish at the end of their event, as we are unable to dispose of hirers' waste. This ensures the kitchen remains welcoming, clean and ready for the next group to enjoy.
