Our marquee / garden room situated on our terrace area is also available for larger bookings, offering a unique outside in dining experience.  With fabulous views over the Surrey Hills and the Temple of the Winds, warm flame heaters and twinkling fairy lights as the evenings draw in which is available over the weekend and for bespoke parties.
