Both the Hall and the Meeting Room have access to the kitchen and use of the kitchen is charged at £5 per booking. It may occasionally have to be shared with other people booking the adjoining hall. However, for larger functions you will have exclusive use of the kitchen.
The kitchen offers two electric ovens, two electric hobs with a total of 6 plates, a large warming cabinet, a full height fridge, an instant hot water tap for making teas and coffees, a commercial dish washer with a 2 or 3 minute cycle for glasses or crockery plus two large sinks with draining boards. A hand washing sink is also provided. We have recently added a 30 litre hot water urn for making drinks for larger numbers at the same time.
China, glassware and cutlery are provided but the hirers and caterers may need to bring additional items depending on numbers. You also need to bring tea towels.
