315 Bar & Restaurant hosts conferences, meetings, private parties and weddings, with wedding packages for up to 50 day guests and 80 evening guests. It stands in the village of Lepton, on the eastern side of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, and combines a restaurant and bar, a function suite with its own entrance and 18 en suite bedrooms.
Seminars and company events
Corporate events take place in the Ingram Suite, on the lower ground floor. It works for a large conference as well as a small meeting: movable partitions close off a smaller private room with its own bar, lounge seating and dedicated staff. The suite has a separate entrance and car park, so delegates do not pass through the restaurant. Equipment includes screens, a projector and screen, free Wi-Fi and a flip chart with pads and markers, and the venue supplies notepads and pens. Refreshments such as water, cordials, fresh fruit and sweets can be added on request.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding packages run through the year, with seasonal versions for winter, spring and summer as well as Sunday and Christmas dates. These take 50 guests for the day and 80 in the evening. A midweek package is set for 40 day guests and 60 evening guests, and a twilight package for 80 guests. Packages include hire of the function room with table linen and a seating plan easel, exclusive use of the patio and grounds, a welcome drink and a toast drink, a three-course meal and bacon sourdough rolls in the evening. The couple receive a bridal suite with breakfast. The site does not say whether ceremonies can be held on the premises, so this is a point to check.
Rooms and capacities
The Ingram Suite is the main function space and can be divided into a smaller private room. For corporate barbecues or hog roasts, a marquee next to the suite extends the space outdoors. Wedding parties also have the patio and grounds to themselves. The venue does not publish room sizes or theatre and classroom figures.
Accommodation
The venue has 18 en suite bedrooms in a contemporary style, so speakers, delegates or wedding guests can stay after a function. Overnight packages combine a stay with dinner, and the bridal suite is included in the wedding packages.
Catering
Food comes from the in-house kitchen. Corporate groups choose sandwiches, the à la carte menu, a buffet or a set menu, or a barbecue or hog roast served in the adjoining marquee. Dietary requirements are catered for, and a private bar can be set up for the group. The team also runs outside catering for private and business events held elsewhere.
Getting there
The venue is in Lepton, a village on the road between Huddersfield and Wakefield, with ample parking on site and a separate car park for the Ingram Suite. Huddersfield station is the nearest main line station, a short drive away, and the M1 and M62 motorways are within reach by car.
