The Eagle Lodge in Bishopbriggs, on the northern edge of Glasgow, hires out four function rooms for conferences, private dinners, parties and weddings. Capacities run from 20 guests in the Boardroom to 200 seated in the Antonine Suite, so the same site works for a small team meeting and for a large company celebration.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists conference packages for each of the four rooms. The Boardroom sits on the ground floor, next to the lounge facilities, and takes up to 20 guests. The Rotunda Suite is on the first floor, seats up to 30 and opens onto the outside terrace. The Eyrie Suite holds up to 90 and has a private bar and en-suite facilities. The Antonine Suite takes up to 200 seated and has a large private bar area. For a conference with a break-out space, the terrace is reachable from the Rotunda, Eyrie and Antonine suites.
The venue also offers finger buffets and hot fork buffets, which suit a working lunch or a reception after a presentation.
Weddings and receptions
The Eagle Lodge is privately owned and runs its weddings with a dedicated coordinator, who handles the first enquiry and stays involved until the day itself. The wedding package is offered in three of the suites and includes canapes on arrival, a wedding breakfast, a drinks package and an evening reception. The site states that suites are available for 25 to 180 guests, while the Antonine Suite is listed for up to 200 seated.
Rooms and capacities
The Boardroom takes 16 to 20 guests for a private dinner. The Rotunda Suite, named after its round shape, takes 25 to 30. The Eyrie Suite takes 60 to 90 and is described as bright, with sun through the day. The Antonine Suite, also called the Grand Ball Room, takes 100 to 200. It has high ceilings, three chandeliers, full-height windows, en-suite facilities and a private bar. Minimum numbers apply to each room for private dining, so smaller groups should ask which room fits.
Catering
The venue handles catering itself and publishes private dining menus, party packages, buffet options and an afternoon tea package for daytime events. Organisers can choose between plated dinners and buffets according to the size of the group. Oregano, the restaurant on the same premises, is open seven days a week.
History and setting
