The Golf Tavern in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, rents out the Caddie Club, a private room at the top of the pub, for meetings, parties and wedding receptions. It takes up to 60 guests seated or 100 standing, has its own bar and comes with games that give a group something to do beyond the meal.
Seminars and company events
The venue publishes a meetings and events brochure and takes enquiries for the Caddie Club. It suits team gatherings, client evenings and end-of-project drinks rather than formal conferences, and the site does not list projectors or screens. What it offers is a private bar, so nobody has to go down to the main bar, a pool table, interactive darts and karaoke with a library of more than 60,000 songs. The site says darts and pool are free for private hire events. Group packages start from a minimum of four people.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding reception package is listed for the Caddie Club. It covers room hire, a bottle of beer or a glass of prosecco on arrival and again for the toasts, a three-course plated dinner or a hot buffet, an evening buffet of hot rolls, a menu tasting for two, use of a cake stand and knife, and a sound system with a microphone. Evening activities include the pool table, interactive darts and karaoke. A winter version of the package is offered without the hot rolls.
Rooms and capacities
The Caddie Club is the only private room listed. It holds up to 60 seated and up to 100 standing. The room sits at the top of the building, and the site mentions views over Bruntsfield Links. Its private bar serves the pub's full range of draught products and a range of other drinks. Drinks packages are available on request.
Catering
The venue lists a buffet menu and a tour menu, and a plated three-course menu is available for wedding receptions. Group packages for darts and golf combine food and drink for set numbers of guests, and the site also lists whisky flights with three whiskies and an explanation of each. The team can be reached on 0131 221 5221.
History and setting
The pub says it has traded in Bruntsfield since 1456 and calls itself Edinburgh's oldest pub. It sits next to Bruntsfield Links, and the venue also runs a short hole golf course, with club hire included in some packages. The main bar is downstairs, and the Caddie Club is up the stairs.
Getting there
The address is 30 to 31 Wright's Houses, Edinburgh EH10 4HR. The Caddie Club is reached by stairs, so organisers with guests who have mobility needs should ask the venue about access.
