I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you so much to the team for making Friday evening so special for my Mum. She had a wonderful evening and the service was exceptional.
Let’s throw you a party, Cartford style. Be it a birthday, anniversary or family gathering - the River House was made for sharing good food, raising a glass, and creating stories to remember.
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.
Extras & Personal Touches
It’s often the little things that make an occasion feel truly yours. 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.
Accommodation
Throwing a party at The Cartford and don’t fancy the journey home? We get it. With thirteen bedrooms and two treehouse-style lodges, you can stay put and let the night run its course. For private celebrations, we’ll reserve the rooms you need for your party, so the only decision left is who’s first to breakfast.
Planning Made Easy…
From your first enquiry to the last glass raised, our events team takes care of the details - menus, timings, layout and finishing touches. On the day, everything is set up and ready, so you can arrive, relax and enjoy the occasion.
