The Crown Inn in Keynsham can be hired for corporate events, product launches, private dinners, weddings and parties, for up to 100 guests standing or 52 seated. It is a 17th-century coaching inn on Bristol Road, between Bath and Bristol, with six guest rooms upstairs and its own kitchen.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells corporate events and product launches as a use of the main pub. The official site describes flexible space for presentations and launches, from small gatherings to larger functions. The pub and the Annex Bar can both be hired seven days a week. Hire includes disco lights, a PA system and smoke machines, and a DJ booth can be added. Teams that want a working day rather than a party should ask what equipment suits a meeting, since the site lists no meeting-room layouts.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and celebrations are offered with a party planner who helps with menus, decoration and entertainment. Exclusive hire gives the group the venue to itself, and guests who travel can sleep in the guest rooms. Extras listed by the inn include balloon arches, prosecco carts and large backdrops. The courtyard is available to the main pub for up to 60 people and to the Annex for up to 100.
Rooms and capacities
There are two hire spaces.
The Crown Inn, the main pub, holds up to 100 people standing and 52 seated. Private dining can be arranged in two areas. A private courtyard takes up to 60 people, and a barbecue area is available.
The Annex Bar holds up to 40 people standing and offers private dining for up to 16. Its courtyard is listed for up to 100 people, and a barbecue area is available here too.
Both spaces come with a dedicated bartender and waiters and an extensive cocktail menu.
Accommodation
The inn has six guest rooms, described on the site as budget friendly. They allow an organiser to keep a small group on site for the night, for a wedding party or a team that has travelled in for a launch.
Catering
Catering is done in house. The inn lists buffets, a curry board for shared private dining and a seasonal main course of feather blade of beef with vegetables and potato gratin. Group bookings can ask for bespoke menus and decoration.
