The Courtyard Restaurant is a textured wood effect floor, the bar flooring is a combination of wood effect and carpet.  

To assist our guests with dietary and allergen requirements, we work with event organisers to collate all requirements as we aim to serve fresh, locally sourced dishes for all our guests. This will include vegetarian, vegan and any religious dietary requirements, intolerances, along with any of the known allergens. We aim to accommodate most dietary requirements across our standard buffets and restaurant menus, with a separate menu of allergen friendly meals to ensure food has been prepared and served separately for these guests. Our guests with these requirements will be provided with a dietary/allergen card to show to our catering team to ensure they're provided with the correct meal.

We request any individual visitors or independent hotel travellers email the hotel at least 48 hours prior to arrival where possible with their dietary or allergen requirements.

We advise that due to the transient nature of the venue and the number of guests visiting on a daily basis, we are unable to guarantee the hotel to be 100% free of any allergen. Guests with particularly severe allergies, such as airborne allergies, may wish to consider their requirements, prior to attending the hotel. Our team are happy to provide advice prior to your visit by contacting the hotel directly.

The meeting room and event space capacities listed on this website are subject to change dependent on the specific access and mobility requirements for each event. Our sales and events team will work with event organisers to advise final capacities once the number of access requirements are confirmed either at enquiry stage or during the final details planning. This applies to the restaurant areas, bar, lounges and private dining room areas, also.

The meeting rooms, restaurant and private dining rooms are all flat floor spaces, allowing the flexibility to setup meeting rooms to accommodate all guests in line with a customer’s specific layout requests, where reasonably practical.
