Every guest at The Pipe and Glass Inn is special, whether they’ve just dropped in for a quick ploughman’s lunch, or are having a champagne celebration for a landmark birthday.
But some people like to do their celebrating in private, and for them, The Pipe and Glass has the very place – the private dining suite upstairs.
Guests can start in the cosy book-lined Chefs’ Library (pictured right), enjoying pre-dinner drinks and canapés while they chat or browse the Mackenzies' vast collection of cookery books (including, of course, James’ very own On the Menu).
Then they move to the glamorous Hotham Room to enjoy a bespoke tasting menu designed in consultation with James. Designer surroundings and cutting edge technology that allows guests to show their own movies and play their own music combine to make this a very special experience.
Finally, the lucky members of the private party can head back to the Chefs’ Library for after-dinner coffee and chocolates, and maybe another drink or two, in a relaxing atmosphere.
The suite is, of course, also available through the day for business users – potential clients couldn’t fail to be impressed by a breakfast meeting at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
And while the private dining suite can accommodate between six and ten, larger parties of twenty-plus can enjoy the exclusive use of the airy and spacious conservatory, with seasonal menus tailored to your requirements by James and his team.
James says: “We’re always happy to discuss private dining options with our guests.
“The whole point is that you want something really special, whether it’s for a private occasion or a business meeting, and we’ll go the extra mile to help you achieve that.”
