We understand what this moment means
The Kings Arms has been a place of gathering for six hundred years. We know how to hold space for people, whatever the occasion — and that includes the times when what's needed most is warmth, privacy, and someone else to handle the details.
Our private spaces are available for wakes, post-funeral gatherings, memorial lunches, and celebration of life events. We keep it simple: you tell us what you need, and we take it from there. No fuss, no hard sell — just genuine care and good food.
We can accommodate gatherings of ten to seventy-five guests at The Kings Arms, or up to one hundred and eighty in the Kings Chapel, with flexible catering from light refreshments to a full sit-down meal. Everything can be arranged with a single phone call.
What we can arrange
- Private room hire — no shared spaces
- Light refreshments, buffet, or sit-down meal
- Tea, coffee, soft drinks, wine, and spirits
- Bespoke menu to reflect the person you're honouring
- Accommodation for travelling family members
- Flexible timings — we work around the service
- A dedicated contact from first enquiry to the day itself
Call or email us at any point. You don't need to have everything worked out — we can guide you through the options once we know your rough numbers and timings.
We'll confirm the space, agree a menu, and take care of everything behind the scenes so you don't have to think about it on the day.
On the day, our team are there but not intrusive. The space is yours — to share stories, raise a glass, and spend time with the people who matter.
We're here when you need us
There's no booking form, no waiting — just a real person at the end of the phone or on email. If you're in the early stages of planning, or if you need something arranged quickly, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We'll respond with care and without any pressure.
