The Great Kitchen at Royal Pavilion
About this space
The Royal Pavilion’s notable Great Kitchen, sometimes also known as the ‘King’s Kitchen’ was modern for its time. George who was obsessed with food and dining conceived this kitchen and would often escort and impress his VIP guests with this room showcasing his new innovative facilities. It was truly one of the first ‘show kitchens’ in the world.
This spacious room, taking its light from skylights in the roof was not without its own ‘taste of the Orient’, in line with the rest of the Royal Pavilion’s decorative scheme, it incorporates cast-iron columns ornamented with abundant painted copper palm leaves.
This room now serves as a fantastic setting for a banquet style dinner or a drinks reception and it is said that George himself at times dined in this kitchen. The Royal Pavilion’s recipe for a great event? Drinks in the Great Kitchen, followed by a seated dinner in the state Banqueting Room.

About Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion offers a stunning backdrop for corporate events. The magnificent state rooms provide a spectacular setting for drinks receptions, lavish dinners, award ceremonies and so much more while two charming rooms are available for both day and evening events.
The Royal Pavilion’s Banqueting Room oozes splendor and extravagance with its visually stunning décor, and dazzling centerpiece chandelier held in the claws of a silver dragon.
The Royal Pavilion’s extraordinary Music Room, with its dazzling gilded dome ceiling, lotus-shaped chandeliers and opulent regal furnishings, makes an ideal setting for after-dinner music performances, recitals and presentations. It was here that George IV entertained the composer Rossini in 1823.
The William IV Room is an ideal venue for both day and evening functions. It is self-contained with its own entrance from the Royal Pavilion gardens, as well as a lobby/cloakroom area and caterer’s kitchen.
