The short answer is no.
No weddings, no wakes, no corporate functions and no large parties. We are aware this is unusual and we are not going to change it.
Why a pub this popular turns down the easiest money there is.
A wedding at this pub would be straightforward to sell and enormously profitable. So would a corporate away-day. Both would also mean closing the building to everybody who drove here hoping for a pint.
The moment a pub starts taking private hire, its calendar begins to fill with events rather than customers, and the regulars learn not to bother. It happens slowly and it is irreversible. So the answer is no, permanently, to everybody, including people we like.

Every ingredient on the menu is from these islands. It is the whole point of the place, and it is the reason there is no lemon in the gin and tonic.
