The Quill & Scholar in Lichfield offers meeting packages, private dining and exclusive hire of a whole pub for up to 124 guests seated or 200 standing. It is a Heartwood Inns venue at 12-14 Tamworth Street, a short walk from the cathedral and the train station, and it suits team meetings, client lunches, away days and celebrations.
Seminars and company events
Business groups can use semi-private snugs, the Garden Room or larger areas. The venue offers set meeting packages. The full-day package runs from 9am to 5pm and includes an arrival pastry, juice and coffee, a two-course lunch with a glass of wine, beer or a soft drink, afternoon coffees and mineral water, with no meeting room charge. The half-day package runs from 9am to 1pm and includes arrival refreshments, afternoon coffees and water. A screen and microphone or AV equipment are listed as available. A Business Club offers a discount on food for parties of four or more on weekday lunchtimes, valid across the Heartwood Inns group.
Weddings and receptions
The same spaces are used for birthdays, anniversaries, drinks parties and private dining. The Library at the front of the pub, the Garden Room and the sheltered terrace at the back give a choice of sizes, from cosy corners to larger private areas. The site does not present weddings, so couples should ask the team directly whether a reception is possible.
Rooms and capacities
Three bookable spaces are listed. Hiring the whole venue gives exclusive use of the bar, dining area, private snug and garden for up to 124 seated or 200 standing guests, any day of the week. The Restaurant takes up to 100 seated or 140 standing, and is a private area. The Pub, which is the bar area and is an open area, takes up to 50 seated or 70 standing. Screens and microphone or AV equipment are available in all three, and the Pub is dog friendly.
Catering
Food is cooked in house from a menu that changes with the seasons, using UK produce and trusted suppliers who share a commitment to sustainability. A two-course business lunch menu runs on weekdays, and group menus are available for dinners and celebrations.
