About this space

The Riverside Tavern is a Function Room in The Kingfisher, a traditionally styled private tavern room distinguished by a bright, casual dining area and an informal layout.

Design: The room is furnished with solid timber tables and cross‑back chairs, modest table settings and simple lantern centrepieces that create an informal dining look. Paintwork in muted warm tones and compact proportions give the space a domestic, tavern‑style character rather than a formal banquet hall.

Features: The Riverside Tavern has Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The room permits own music and external DJs and supports straightforward music setups. The space provides step‑free guest access, is wheelchair accessible and includes accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, informal seated meal or a casual standing drinks reception.

What guests say: The Riverside Tavern is attractive and well maintained and benefits from a riverside setting. The space is atmospheric and comfortable for relaxed social gatherings.
