About Dining Galley
150 Standing / Reception
67 Seated
The Dining Galley transforms military history into culinary adventure, where 67 guests can gather beneath the watchful eye of our magnificent model ship. This former fortress mess hall retains its original riveted metalwork and exposed beams, now serving as the dramatic backdrop for celebrations that feel worlds away from the mainland. Round tables dressed in crisp white linens fill the space, each one positioned to encourage conversation while maintaining clear sightlines across the room. We've kept the authentic maritime character intact, from the warm wooden flooring that once supported naval operations to the wall-mounted lantern-style fixtures that cast a gentle glow reminiscent of ships at sea. The polished cutlery and fine glassware catch this light beautifully, particularly during evening services when the fort settles into its island solitude. Our chefs take full advantage of the Galley's intimate atmosphere, presenting menus they've planned weeks in advance to ensure every ingredient makes the journey across the Solent worthwhile. The room comfortably hosts seated dinners for up to 67, though we can accommodate reception-style gatherings for 150 when guests prefer to move freely between the bar and dining areas. The structural elements tell their own story, with original beams overhead and metalwork that bears the marks of Victorian engineering. These details create natural conversation starters, especially when combined with the commanding presence of our ship model, a reminder that you're dining in what was once Britain's first line of maritime defense. Whether you're planning a wedding feast where guests arrive by speedboat, a corporate dinner between strategy sessions, or a private celebration where the only sounds are waves against stone walls, the Dining Galley offers an atmospheric setting that matches the exclusivity of reaching us by boat.
