About this space

Function Room in Branksome Crafthouse is a private, wood-finished room within the pub that is defined by a flexible layout and warm industrial detailing.

Design: The Function Room has terracotta-toned walls, reclaimed-style timber panelling and exposed metal fittings that create a compact, informal interior. The room features pendant industrial lights, hanging greenery and mixed bench-and-chair seating that emphasise a casual pub-room aesthetic.

Features: The room includes on-site Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and natural daylight. The space is furnished with timber tables and benches that can be rearranged into meeting or dining layouts and a large wall-mounted display provides a visible presentation surface. Accessible toilets are located nearby.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social sit-down dinner or a seated meeting in an informal private room.

What sets it apart: An integrated PA system and a policy that allows guests to play their own music or hire a DJ give the room strong in-house audio capability for personalised sound.

What guests say: The Function Room is supported by attentive, professional on-site staff and a straightforward booking process. The room benefits from prompt service at the bar and a varied drinks selection during events.
