Brewhouse & Kitchen Lichfield offers private rooms for meetings, team events, parties and receptions of 15 up to 100 guests. It is a brewpub with a working microbrewery on Bird Street, in Lichfield city centre, close to the Cathedral. The upstairs floor can be hired as a whole or split into two rooms, and a semi-private snug sits downstairs.
Seminars and company events
The upstairs rooms are set up for working sessions as well as celebrations. The Watling Room and the Ryknild Room both have AV, a microphone, Wi-Fi, natural light and meeting stationery. The Ryknild Room adds a private bar and a projector. When you hire the whole of upstairs, the private bar and the projector are available to the entire group.
A sandwich and finger buffet menu is listed for private hire, which fits a half-day meeting or a working lunch. Food and drink packages can be added in every space, so you can plan coffee, lunch and an after-work drink within one booking.
Rooms and capacities
All of upstairs holds 60 seated or 100 standing. The Watling Room holds 30 seated or 50 standing. The Ryknild Room holds 30 seated or 50 standing. The two rooms can be hired together for a larger event, although the site does not give a combined figure, so confirm the layout with the events team. The Snug, a semi-private area downstairs, holds 15 seated or 20 standing and has Wi-Fi and the food and drink packages.
Catering
The kitchen serves the private hire menus, and the venue brews its own beer on site, which gives a reception a natural focus. Menus and packages vary by space and by group size. Ask the Lichfield events team to confirm options for dietary requirements and the timing of service.
Weddings and receptions
The private hire pages mention weddings among the occasions, and the cocktail and reception formats work for an evening party of up to 100 guests standing. The site does not describe ceremonies, so treat the venue as a reception space and confirm what is possible with the team.
History and setting
The venue is part of the Brewhouse & Kitchen group of brewpubs and sits in the historic centre of Lichfield, a cathedral city in Staffordshire. The two upstairs rooms carry names that refer to Roman roads in the area.
Getting there
Bird Street is in the city centre, near the Cathedral, within walking distance of the city's shops and hotels. Check the site for the full address and the nearest train station before sending details to guests.
