It may sound obvious, but, whatever kind of event you’re planning, the choice of venue is hugely important. Not only will it shape the occasion’s overall atmosphere and ultimate success, but it has a significant impact on comfort, accessibility and functionality.
So – get your choice of location right and your guests will leave with a lingering good impression. Indeed, we’d go as far to say that your venue is a lot more than merely the place you hold your event – it’s the foundation on which you build the whole experience. Find somewhere that suits your purpose, logistical needs and theme, and you’ll have set the stage for something memorable and successful.
Events at The Palm House
The elegant, stylish and inviting ambience of The Palm House provides the perfect setting for any special celebration, whether that’s a baby shower, big birthday or anniversary, bridal shower, your wedding or indeed any family gathering. Our restaurant enjoys a unique location in Runfold, near Farnham, in the heart of the Surrey Hills, on the site of The Packhouse shopping experience.
We have a highly committed team of staff who will work extremely hard to make sure your occasion goes off without a hitch (unless, of course, you’re actually getting married!) Together we’ll ensure a no-hassle, stress-free party during which you will be able to focus on entertaining your guests and enjoying the occasion.
The Palm House stands ready to welcome you whatever the size of your group and whatever your budget. What’s more, we love customising our events package to suit the individual, and offer an array of mouthwatering menu options.
For added convenience, there’s plenty of free parking – although it can get busy at weekends, so we encourage car sharing. Meanwhile, the level access means there are no steep steps to negotiate if anyone in your party has mobility difficulties.
You can book our venue for your private event on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening and have the whole place to yourselves. Alternatively, hire some of the place, for example our Mezzanine area, any day of the week (including Bank Holidays) between 930am and 430pm. The balcony level can sit 24, or comfortably fit 30 people standing up.
Our afternoon tea is a hugely popular option here – and with good reason! Let us serve you and your guests a selection of delightful savoury snacks and sweet treats – please join us in upholding this delightful and quintessentially English tradition. You can take tea any day of the week; just ask us about prices, times, numbers of guests and how long your table will be available for.
Bookings for 25 guests or more
If there will be more than 24 of you, enjoy exclusive use of our downstairs restaurant. This beautiful ground-floor space seats up to 50, and we offer extended time for you to enjoy your afternoon tea experience. (You can also buy some extra time if you’d like to do that.)
Alternatively, if you’re planning an evening event, hire our split-level restaurant on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, with a capacity of 120 standing and 56 sitting down.
Go for a seated dinner, with two or three courses, a hot buffet or grazing tables and canapés. Menus can be customised, and we cater for different allergies. And, if you wish, we’ll move the tables after you’ve finished eating, giving you space to dance the evening away. We’ll even recommend a DJ and supply the sound system.
There’s also a fully stocked bar to serve drinks until 11pm – it can operate as pay-as-you-go or with a running tab.
Talk to us about menus, dates, numbers and timings. You’re also welcome to come and view The Palm House in advance. Just drop us an email at hello@palm-house.co.uk, us about our availability, and we’ll take it from there. Alternatively, learn more by downloading our brochure.
