At a push, city centre considered too, but am looking for somewhere that I can go for a meal with family and then invite crowd to meet later in same venue. Went to a 40th in the Salon last year and was great as had meal there, then upstairs/mezzanine level to party - but the noise! A live band on and couldnt hear a word anyone was saying including speeches (even though apparently band was meant to be on a break when they were going on, made no difference). Had a lovely party for mum in Bothy for her 60th, but very much smaller event and couldnt handle numbers for this one.
We have a large family, and would expect to seat up to 30 people with another 50 or so expected later. Really want to avoid having a house party due to size - but struggling to think of anywhere that can accommodate everything we need. Would consider a buffet style function all in one place - but would prefer first option of meal, then guests later.
Was thinking about House for an art lover, but would rather stay this side of the river if possible.
Can anyone help? Would really appreciate some ideas.
Thanks
