About this space

Indoor Area, an Event Space in The Boat Inn, is a low-ceilinged pub snug that retains exposed timber beams and a compact, intimate layout.

Design: The Indoor Area is a compact, low-ceilinged room characterised by exposed timber beams, painted plaster walls and a brick fireplace recess. The room has soft wall-mounted lamps that create a low-lit, traditional character.

Features: The space has Wi‑Fi, natural light, step-free access and accessible toilets. The area is furnished with small wooden tables and mixed dining chairs that can be rearranged for seated meals or an informal mingling layout.

Ideal for: Smaller groups seeking a relaxed, informal seated meal or a low-key social drinks gathering in a traditional pub setting.

What sets it apart: A collection of framed Inspector Morse memorabilia gives the room a distinctive, locally specific character.

What guests say: The Indoor Area feels welcoming and family-friendly, and staff are often attentive.
