Your Wedding, Your Way
We understand that every couple is different, which is why we offer a flexible, blank-canvas venue that allows you to create a day that’s truly yours. Our first-floor space is ideal for wedding receptions of up to 45 guests for a seated meal, or up to 55 standing for drinks and canapés. The space includes exclusive access to a private bar and a charming outdoor terrace—perfect for welcome drinks, sunset photos, or simply soaking up the atmosphere with loved ones.
For couples planning weekday weddings, full venue hire is available on Mondays and Tuesdays, giving you exclusive use of the entire restaurant and bar. This option is perfect for those seeking a more expansive celebration, with the opportunity to take over the space and make it entirely your own.
We don’t charge a venue hire fee, and our team will work closely with you to arrange a minimum spend that suits your plans. From initial inquiry to your final toast, our experienced staff will be on hand to ensure every detail is taken care of.
Bespoke Menus & Exceptional Flavours
At Bank House, we believe that great food is at the heart of every celebration. Our talented chefs are passionate about seasonal, British cuisine and are proud to offer a selection of set menus tailored to weddings and special events. From elegant multi-course dinners to relaxed sharing-style feasts, we’ll help you create a menu that reflects your tastes and vision.
Sample dishes might include starters such as wild mushroom parfait with toasted brioche or white onion soup with cured ham and rosemary croutons. Mains could range from roast fillet of sea bass with Cornish crab and shellfish sauce to slow-braised beef cheek served with creamed potatoes and salsa verde. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, and we’re happy to accommodate dietary needs.
For a more informal affair, we also offer finger and fork buffet menus featuring seasonal small plates—perfect for mingling and enjoying a relaxed atmosphere. Think chorizo and white bean cassoulet, open sandwiches, or delicate pumpkin and ricotta tortelloni.
Raise a Glass in Style
No celebration is complete without the perfect drinks, and at Bank House, you’ll be spoiled for choice. From classic cocktails to carefully selected wines, local draught beers, and non-alcoholic options, we offer a comprehensive drinks menu to suit all tastes. Toast your big day with a bespoke drinks package, or let us recommend pairings to complement your meal.
