Private Events & Functions

Private Dining

Here at the Dabbling Duck we have function rooms to suit any occasion.

Orangery

The orangery is light and airy. The room can comfortably seat 22 guests in a banqueting style format. This has been very popular for birthday celebrations and baby showers.

The Back-Library

The Back-library links on to the orangery, so when taking this space privately both areas need to be booked. It is a stunning room lined with books and the famous in-house resident Maurice the Moose, who is over 100 years old. This room with the adjoining orangery can seat up to 60 guests.

The Barn

The Barn is an oak beamed structure which is a semi outdoors structure , which provides al fresco dining. It is equipped with it’s own bar and pizza ovens. If you are interested in booking any of these rooms privately please get in touch and email events@thedabblingduck.co.uk

Barrack House 

Sitting directly next to the pub, this newly renovated  building offers a fully equipped conference room that can accommodate up to 12 people. The room with all the amenities needed for a meeting, can be hired for half or full day  with the added option of having breakfast or lunch served either in the conference room, in the breakfast room of Barrack House or at the pub.

Barrack House has four super king bedrooms ( which can also be made as twins ) and the whole house can be rented out or individual rooms booked which offers the opportunity to offer overnight stays for attendees

All bookings are subject to availability and minimum spend. Hire charges may apply and deposits will be needed.

Conference Packages

Here at The Dabbling Duck, we can cater for your private business meetings and conferences. With a variety of sized spaces and accommodation on site, we can customise most options to perfectly suit the requirements.

We have two spaces that best suit conferences:

The private Conference room in Barrack House offers a smaller meeting space, seating up to 12 people around a large conference table. The room is set up for video conferencing via the wall mounted TV, which can also be used for presentations. The table can also be removed on request to allow the room to be configured for your specific needs.

Our back restaurant can seat 60 guests and is equipped with an overhead projector and screen.

In either space refreshments can be completely tailored to requirements, from light lunches, breakfast buffets or private 3 course dining options.

If you are interested in booking our conference spaces, please get in touch and email events@thedabblingduck.co.uk
