Some celebrations do not need a ballroom.
They need good food, warm lighting, familiar faces and a room that feels like it has been waiting for this moment.
The Griffin is a characterful Old Amersham venue for couples looking for something more personal than a traditional wedding package. Think long lunches, candlelit dinners, relaxed receptions, drinks with friends, family gathered around the table and a team quietly keeping everything moving.
Tell us what kind of day you have in mind, and we will help you choose the right space, menu and setup.
The Assembly Room
Our largest private space, ideal for wedding receptions, evening celebrations, drinks, canapés and larger gatherings.
The Assembly Room can be styled around your celebration, whether you are planning a relaxed party, seated meal, speeches, music or dancing later in the evening.
The Private Dining Mezzanine
An intimate setting above the restaurant, perfect for smaller wedding lunches, family dinners and celebrations that feel private without being overly formal.
The Mezzanine works beautifully for couples who want good food, close friends and family, and a room with warmth and character.
The Main Restaurant
For larger gatherings or shared celebrations, the main restaurant brings together the atmosphere of The Griffin with food, drinks and service at the centre.
Availability and private-use options can be discussed with the team.
The Garden
For warmer days, welcome drinks, photographs or a relaxed moment between parts of the day, the garden offers another way to enjoy The Griffin’s setting.
Garden use is subject to weather, availability and event requirements.
Joyful, indulgent and effortless, in a casual fine-dining setting.
Guests are welcomed with fizz or cocktails and delicate canapés, before sitting down to a four-course Sharing Menu — a banquet-style feast designed to bring everyone together.
After dinner, the party flows into music, dancing and late-night revelry, either in our private events space upstairs or a transformed restaurant downstairs.
Every detail is shaped to feel warm, stylish and memorable.
Food and drink sit at the heart of any Griffin celebration.
Our team can help you choose from seasonal menus, private dining options, canapés, drinks packages and wine selections depending on the style of your day.
Whether you are planning a seated wedding lunch, drinks and canapés, or an evening reception with food served throughout, we will talk you through what works best for your guest numbers, timings and space.
Menus and pricing can be tailored and confirmed once we know more about your plans.
