Occasions We Host
Our pubs regularly host large groups and gatherings for all sorts of occasions. That ranges from the professional – work drinks, team celebrations, presentations and business meetings – through to much more personal events, including birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, retirement parties, festive get-togethers and wakes. Whatever brings your group together, our teams will help you plan the day, from where you’ll sit to what you’ll eat and drink.
Every one of our pubs serves an extensive menu alongside well-kept ales, with our famous carvery available daily at the Puss in Boots, Spread Eagle and Fletchers Arms, and every Sunday at the Jolly Sailor. We also cater for all dietary requirements, with dedicated vegetarian and vegan menus and a No Gluten Ingredients (NGI) menu available at every pub, so nobody in your group misses out.
Large Bookings vs Venue Hire: Which Do I Need?
A large booking is a reserved table (or tables) for your group within the pub, while the pub stays open as normal. It’s perfect for big meals out, celebrations and get-togethers where you want great food and drink without needing a space all to yourselves. If that sounds right for your occasion, use the enquiry form above.
Venue hire gives you a dedicated space for your event, ideal for private parties, larger functions and occasions where you’d like more exclusivity. If you’re looking to hire one of our pubs as a venue, head to our venue hire page, or go straight to the pub you have in mind: hire the Puss in Boots in Offerton, hire the Spread Eagle in Romiley, hire the Fletchers Arms in Denton, hire the Jolly Sailor in Davenport or hire The Station House in Cheadle Hulme.
Not sure which is right for you? Make an enquiry either way and our team will point you in the right direction.
