About this space

The Great Kitchen is a private event space in the Royal Pavilion that retains its palace kitchen character, centred on a large historic cooking hearth and original service fittings.

Design: The space has high ceilings, cast‑iron columns and pendant lanterns over stone-flag floors, with timber shelving and display racks that emphasise its utilitarian, pre-industrial proportions prepared for communal dining.

Features: A fitted PA system and speakers are available, and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ. The room has Wi‑Fi and natural daylight, plus step‑free access and accessible toilets. Onsite event services are provided by the venue.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a formal, seated dining experience in a historic, characterful setting.

What guests say: The Great Kitchen is lavishly restored and richly detailed. The interior's period fittings and decorative detailing make a strong visual impression.
