Skipperkroen Thurø is a village inn on the island of Thurø, near Svendborg in South Funen, Denmark, that hosts private parties, weddings, courses and memorial gatherings for up to 80 guests. The kitchen cooks from scratch, and organisers can choose a set menu or build one from a menu card. The inn also delivers food off site across South Funen and Langeland.
Seminars and company events
The inn says it is open every day of the week for parties, courses and memorial gatherings, and asks organisers to get in touch about their needs. It has no published list of meeting rooms or equipment, so confirm the room, projection and seating plan directly. For a company lunch or dinner, the menu card lets you pick starters, main courses and desserts separately. Brunch and lunch suggestions are listed on the site as well.
Weddings and receptions
The inn publishes a sample wedding day to adapt. After the ceremony, guests arrive for wedding cake and coffee or tea, with house wine, beer and soft drinks for two hours. The dinner opens with a glass of sparkling wine and snacks, followed by a three-course menu with house wine, beer and water served freely during the meal. Coffee and sweets follow in the adjoining rooms. A bar session with house drinks runs from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., and a night snack is included. The inn also lists baptism parties and memorial gatherings.
Rooms and capacities
The inn states that it can host parties of up to 80 people. The site does not name individual rooms or give capacities per room. It mentions adjoining parlors used for coffee after dinner, so a party can move between spaces. A facilities page exists on the site, and the venue is the right contact for room layouts.
Accommodation
No accommodation is mentioned on the pages we could read. Plan on guests finding rooms elsewhere on Thurø or in Svendborg, and confirm with the inn first.
Catering
Catering is the core of the offer. The menu card covers starters, main courses, desserts and night snacks, and the kitchen builds menus around the season and your requests. Off-site catering is available for events of at least 10 covers anywhere in South Funen and Langeland, either delivered or picked up.
History and setting
The building dates from 1900 and has been an inn since 1920. The current owners took it over in 2023 and keep its character while focusing on good ingredients and food made from scratch. It sits in the middle of Thurø.
