About this space

The Tipi Buffet is a Private outdoor space in the Blackbird Inn, an enclosed canvas tipi that creates an intimate, sheltered dining area.

Design: The interior is a conical canvas tent with a tall central pole, fabric walls and foliage garlands that frame the ceiling. Warm amber string lighting and simple wooden furnishings keep the feel informal and close-seated.

Features: Wi‑Fi is available. The space has a step‑free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets. Fixed wooden tables and chairs are provided and the layout can be rearranged for seated dining or mingling.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, sheltered seated meal or an informal, social standing reception.

What sets it apart: A freestanding wooden serving island sits at the centre, providing a dedicated internal buffet station.

What guests say: The space is warm and cosy with attentive, friendly staff and clean, well‑maintained toilets.
