Book one of our hireable spaces

From great food and cracking drinks to an atmosphere that makes every visit memorable, The Griffin has everything but the kitchen sink (we have that too, actually, it's in the kitchen). But did you know we have three fantastic function rooms for all of your private hire requirements? Yep, we're talking birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, but we're also talking workplace meetings, conferences and networking events. Much better than the office if you ask us.
 
The best bit? Booking a private space couldn't be easier!

Booking, but easier

We said it couldn't be easier, and we mean it! To secure a private space for your function, all you need to do is book online – a piece of cake!
 
We're here to ensure everything goes according to plan, so make sure you include as much detail as possible, including how many guests you're expecting and any special requirements. We'd also advise you to book in advance to avoid disappointment. We don't do disappointment around here, or complex booking systems for that matter.

Just a few things to note when booking:

  • Our function rooms are available to hire Monday - Sunday
  • Online bookings must be made at least 14 days prior to the event date. For bookings within 14 days, please contact the pub directly to check availability and discuss whether we can accommodate your request

Food that brings people together

We may be biased here, but we think our food is pretty spectacular. From delicious small plates, starters and sides to all-singing-all-dancing Sunday roasts, there's something for everyone. That's why organising your next important workplace meeting at The Griffin is such a good idea; a hearty pub meal or selection of buffet-style picky bits is one fail-safe way to guarantee happy colleagues. Well, that's one way to win employee of the month.
 
Plus, we offer a range of food and drink packages, so download our menus to see what's available.
