Why does the Lakeside bar close for the duration of the wedding breakfast?
It is usual for us to close the bar during the meal as it is quite central and having it open gives the room a different ambience – we find guests tend to congregate around it and the noise of the till ringing gives it a more pub-like atmosphere. If you have chosen our drinks package, the waitresses will be circulating continuously pouring wine or orange juice for the non-drinkers. There will be jugs of iced water on the table. You can choose to ask us to supply bottles of beer to circulate alongside the wine; this will be added to your bill. We do advise your guests that the bar will close for the duration of the meal (about 2hours) and they can purchase a drink to take in with them from the Lounge bar before it closes. The Lakeside bar will re-open as soon as we have turned the room around for your evening reception. If the wedding breakfast is to take place in the Wheelroom then the Lounge bar will remain open for your guests.
