The rural surroundings of Lakeside Kitchen & Bar belie the fact that our venue is located just five miles from the centre of the city. Our venue boasts stunning views and sits on the edge of the lake.
Enjoy your special day both inside and outside at our beautiful wedding venue. During the warmer months, you can enjoy a picture-perfect al fresco drinks reception on the external lakeside deck. Or if the weather is a little cooler, how about a cosy crackling fire to warm you up?
Lakeside Kitchen & Bar also features a spacious main hall and a private adjacent room. In all, we can accommodate up to 150 standing guests or 100 seated guests.
We will do all we can to assist you both in the build-up to your day and our wedding co-ordinator Charlotte is on hand for any query, concern or request you may have in the lead up to your wedding and on the day.
Additionally, we have a fully licensed bar and offer a chance for our couples to design their own signature cocktail to be served on their day. We serve up only the freshest, tastiest and locally sourced food, with every item on our menu made to order. We offer fairly priced food at an exceptional standard and have a range of options to choose from that can cater for all dietary requirements.
We understand that your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life and we personally tailor our events to the exact wishes of our guests. You can customise your event to the finest detail, making it easy to create your dream day at Lakeside Kitchen & Bar.
No matter how you celebrate your wedding at Lakeside with us we promise that you will be swept away by the romance and tranquillity of your surroundings and be put at ease with our professional and outstanding level of service.
