Let’s Throw You a Party, Cartford Style
Birthdays, anniversaries, family get-togethers — the River House has played host to them all. It’s a space made for sharing good food, raising a glass, and creating stories you’ll still be talking about next year.
The River House
We host private celebrations in our River House, a dedicated events space just steps from the inn but very much its own place. With exposed brick, eclectic art, folding glass doors and a terrace that opens onto wide views of the River Wyre, it feels both striking and intimate.
Inside, the River House is warm, characterful and designed for gatherings that matter. It’s yours alone for the duration of your celebration, seating between 12 and 30 guests for a private lunch or dinner.
Food & Drink
Depending on the size of your party, you’ll either enjoy a tailored seasonal set menu or the freedom to choose à la carte from our latest restaurant dishes. Menus can be adapted to suit all tastes and requirements, with the same focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients.
For something a little different, the River House also plays host to:
- Afternoon Tea Buffet – a spread of finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and handmade pastries.
- Sunday Roast Family Table – a generous, family-style roast with all the trimmings, designed for sharing.
Extras & Personal Touches
It’s often the little things that make an occasion feel truly yours. At the River House, we can help arrange:
- Live music to set the tone
- Canapés and drinks on arrival
- Flowers and table décor
- Celebration cakes
- Balloons and finishing touches
Whether you’d like something understated or a full flourish, we’ll work with you to make sure every detail feels just right.
Planning Made Easy…
From your first enquiry to the last glass raised, our events team is on hand to take care of the details — menus, timings, décor and everything in between. Setup on the day is seamless, so all you need to do is arrive and enjoy.
It’s what we do best. We’ve hosted hundreds of celebrations in the River House — let us help make yours the one everyone remembers.
