The bar at The Briers is licensed, but you stock it yourself. Bring what your group actually drinks, at supermarket prices rather than bar prices, and pour your own.
Over a weekend with a group of any size that difference adds up to more than most people expect — and nobody has to watch the clock or find a taxi home.
It sits in the same open-plan room as the dining tables, so the bar is where the evening happens rather than somewhere people drift off to. The snug is next door with a TV for whatever is on.
Part of whole-house hire.
