Seminars and company events
The Hanger Room suits a small team session or a workshop. It holds 22 seated or 30 standing, and 22 in a U-shape, with audio, internet and a screen or TV.

Under-18s are not permitted in its bar area after 9 pm, which matters if a team event includes young people.

Weddings and receptions
The First Floor Restaurant works for a reception with a private bar and a sit-down meal or a buffet designed with the pub's chefs. For a smaller gathering the Green Room, at up to 60 standing, can serve as a drinks room, with three buffet packages. The venue lists up to 150 guests across the whole building.
