A private event at Parker’s Tavern combines the gravitas of an historic Cambridge institution re-designed by the Queen’s architect, John Simpson, with a modern lightness of touch by Swedish-born interior designer, Martin Brudnizki, and a bespoke feasting menu created by chef Tristan Welch.

PRIVATE EVENTS
Parker’s Tavern crafts each occasion with expert ease.
Private dining
The Parker’s Tavern Ballroom was built to host lively dinners, with menus written by Tristan Welch, that are designed to celebrate local produce and inspire conversation from even the most introverted dinner guest. Our wine list is as eclectic as the college crests that adorn the stained glass windows and when the sun sets, the chandeliers dim, while the evening continues over candlelight.
The atmosphere is vigorous and thoughtful, where history seeps into the present.
Celebrations
Whether celebrating your wedding, your 50th anniversary or a special birthday, our dining rooms offer the perfect space to unwind, converse and toast one another, safe in the knowledge that our team are curating your experience with expert ease.
Business events
Our Crick and Watson rooms offer flexible event space to deliver successful business events. For meetings from 10 – 200, catered by the award winning kitchens of Parker’s Tavern, your event is sure to impress colleagues and clients alike, while the surroundings and views inspire exceptional results.
It seems Edwardian, with a spirit of Britishness running through, but if you look more closely, you’ll see it’s more eclectic than that. Some educated tomfoolery in the mix.”
