WEDDINGS AT THE TRAFALGAR TAVERN the perfect choice
Introduction Thank you for your enquiry regarding the Trafalgar Tavern. Built in 1837, the Trafalgar Tavern sits on the banks of the river Thames, and has been a welcoming sight for visitors to Greenwich for over 150 years. William Gladstone and Charles Dickens were familiar visitors to the tavern, and the Nelson Room became famous for its legendary whitebait dinners. More recently, the Trafalgar Tavern has become available for private hire, and has established itself as one of the most attractive and popular venues in the capital in which to celebrate weddings and other special family occasions. The character and charm of this magnificent building remains unchanged, with its balconies and bay windows overlooking the river. The Nelson Room and the Admiral s Gallery Bar have recently been re-furbished, and once again exude that stunning late regency splendour with which so many generations of Londoners have become so familiar. We hope that this document gives an insight of what is possible at the Trafalgar Tavern. Once you have had the opportunity to review the contents, our sales team will be delighted to check availability or arrange a viewing.
Room hire The Nelson Room can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated dinner, 350 for standing reception and is licensed as a venue for civil weddings. The entire first floor of the Trafalgar Tavern can be hired exclusively for your wedding. The venue is available for the entire day, so there is plenty of time for your florist to set up, and for you to photograph the room should you wish. For smaller weddings receptions, we have an alternate space, The Trafalgar Club. Situated on the ground floor, it has its own entrance in Crane Street, along with its own bar and basement dance floor. The room can seat 40 for dinner and 120 for a standing reception. Should neither spaces be suitable, please see our web site for other venues that we own in Greenwich that may suit your requirements. www.instinctevents.com To enquire about availability of the Nelson Room, Trafalgar Club or any of our venues in Greenwich, simply call one of our sales managers on 020 8858 2437, or e-mail info@trafalgartavern.co.uk This information pack gives details of our menus and drinks prices, as well as contact details for our approved suppliers of floristry, lighting, entertainment and other services.
Food A shared meal is one of the most important elements of any wedding day. At the Trafalgar Tavern all of the food is prepared on the premises, using the finest ingredients available. Our wedding menus have been designed with an emphasis on simple, elegant presentation. Many of our dishes represent a modern take on some of the traditional classics, and feature bold, fresh flavours. All of our dishes are presented fully plated, on plain white china, and our menus are complemented by freshly baked bread, and after dinner coffee. Standard menus are three-course; further courses can be added by arrangement. We are of course happy to cater for vegetarians and special dietary requirements.

BEVERAGE As with food, drinks are an essential element in any successful wedding celebration in fact, the traditional toast to the bride and groom is one of the most memorable, and the most photographed, moments of the wedding day.

In addition, our cellars store a wide range of fine wines, ports and Champagnes. We can also source experienced cocktail barmen to add that special touch of glamour.
