KENT DOWNSTAIRS

If you would prefer your event to be on the ground floor or if the requested date is already booked, there's no need to worry. We have a fantastic dining area available downstairs.
We provide excellent dining experiences with dedicated table service. We can reserve semi-private parts exclusively for your use, but a minimum spend will be required. Both shared sit-down menus and canapes are available. The back section is more suitable for a sit-down event and can accommodate up to 60ppl, while the front part near the bar is great for cocktail-style parties and can fit up to 80ppl standing.
However, if you anticipate not meeting the minimum spending requirement, we can still accommodate your group by booking a few tables together and providing a shared, family-style menu or a la carte menu without extra conditions.

Dear Gosia Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to you and the staff at the Kent. The food was delicious- everyone loved it, the staff were so accommodating and the venue was perfect. Please pass on your thanks to everyone.

Dear Gosia, Sincere thanks to you and your team for the lovely dinner that we had at the Kent upstairs on Saturday evening. The evening was a great success and our kids and grandkids all had a lovely time. The two girls looking after us were magnificent, particularly given the constant frolicking of our youngest children and the requirements of family members. They could not have been more helpful. We will certainly be recommending the Kent Upstairs for friends and family functions - and are so grateful to you for making our 50th wedding anniversary celebrations so special. All good wishes

Hi Gosia, Just letting you know that everyone really enjoyed our end of year lunch at The Kent on Wednesday. There were many comments about how good the food was and what a great space it is upstairs (there was a bit of dancing happening!). The two staff who looked after us on the day did an excellent job. I've already had a few requests to return in December next year! Thanks,

Anne
