Farris Kro & Café in Farris, southern Jutland, is a country inn that rents party rooms for weddings, family celebrations and company events. Its two halls hold up to 100 and 120 guests, depending on the table plan. The inn has served the village since 1907 and has its own restaurant, a pizzeria and a large garden used for outdoor events.
Seminars and company events
The inn presents both halls as suitable for larger company events as well as family gatherings. The Gold Hall has its own stage and a VIP cocktail bar, which suits an evening programme with speeches, a presentation or live music. The Kejser Wilhelm Hall is a renovated glass hall with a view over the garden. The official site does not describe meeting equipment or a seminar format, so organisers planning a conference day should ask the owner what is available before booking. Enquiries go by phone or by e-mail.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a clear part of the offer. The inn describes its rooms as romantic party rooms, and its garden is used for photographs, with a French garden swing set aside for couples. The garden holds bronze sculptures, ornamental figures, a large Viking sculpture by the artist Walter Linis and a full-size copy of the Jelling rune stone. Larger parties can use the grounds for outdoor activities. The inn also takes confirmations, round-number birthdays and other family occasions.
Rooms and capacities
Two halls are available. The Gold Hall (Guld sal, also called Stor sal) holds up to 100 guests, depending on the table plan, and includes a stage and a VIP cocktail bar. The Kejser Wilhelm Hall (Kejser Wilhelm sal) is a glass hall that doubles as the inn's pizzeria with live cooking. Its page title gives up to 120 guests, while the text gives 100, so confirm the figure for your layout. A terrace is also listed among the party spaces. Booking a room carries a fixed deposit and a one-time room fee, which the inn sets out on its own page.
Accommodation
The inn's menu lists guest rooms, but the pages provided do not give their number or layout. Ask the owner how many guests can sleep on site and whether a room block is possible for a wedding weekend.
Catering
The kitchen is flexible and the inn is known for its buffets. The à la carte restaurant Der Kaiser is closed for a winter pause, and the pizzeria bakes in a stone oven following Italian recipes. For group events, the kitchen prepares set buffets, and a memorial gathering format with coffee, tea and a buffet shows that the inn handles lunch-style service as well as evening parties.
History and setting
The inn was built around 1907 as a travel hotel for officials at the nearby border station, which the German emperor had built in 1905. Farris lies close to Kolding, about 6 km from the Jels lakes, with walking paths in the surrounding countryside. A small bell museum stands about 1 km from the inn.
Getting there
