About The Great Kitchen
40 Banquet
90 Standing / Reception
The Great Kitchen draws people in with those copper palm leaves crowning each cast-iron column, their metallic gleam catching the natural light from the skylights above. King George IV designed this space as his show kitchen, and we've kept every detail intact, from the original shelving lined with copper pots to the long wooden tables that have hosted countless gatherings since the 1820s. When you book The Great Kitchen for your event, you're working with a room that tells its own story. The painted palm leaves weren't just decoration, they were part of the King's vision for bringing the exotic indoors, creating a cooking space unlike any other palace kitchen of its time. We can arrange the historic wooden tables for seated dinners with 40 guests, where conversations flow as easily as they did during royal banquets. For cocktail receptions, the space opens up to welcome 90 guests who inevitably find themselves examining the copper cookware collection or admiring how daylight plays across the oriental-inspired columns. The room works particularly well for banquets and cocktail parties where guests appreciate being surrounded by authentic history. Those skylights mean daytime events happen in beautiful natural light, while evening gatherings take on a more intimate atmosphere as the copper surfaces reflect the warm lighting. Just minutes from Brighton Station with paid parking nearby, getting here is straightforward, and we have wheelchair access throughout. Our approved catering partners know how to work within this historic space, creating menus that complement the royal heritage while meeting modern expectations. Whether you're planning an exclusive dinner party or a reception that needs something beyond the typical event space, The Great Kitchen offers genuine character that photographs beautifully and gives your guests stories to share long after they leave.
