Events & Functions


We would be happy to accommodate your small group or party, and can offer flexible timing and catering arrangements to suit your needs.

Daytime Events


With Coltishall Church within walking distance we are a popular choice for pre- or post-service drinks. Following a funeral we can offer refreshments and buffet food for a gathering of family and friends.

Private Dining Rooms


Our sister pub The Recruiting Sergeant, less than a mile away in Horstead, has two private dining rooms which may be more suitable for business meetings or larger parties.

Celebrations


Unfortunately, due to a lack of facilities in which to keep them safe until required, we can no longer accept cakes brought in by customers. As an alternative we are very happy to provide candles and plates decorated with a celebratory message for the special person(s), should they wish to order dessert. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or upset this may cause, and thank you for your understanding.
