Hi, i live in Thanet Kent and its coming up to my parents golden anniversary and i would like to do a surprise party for them, but im having dificulty with trying to find a hall with a bar and maybe a caterer to do food, ive put different wording into google but nothing comes up of any interest, can anyone help me please. Thank you

Try looking on yell.com under function rooms and caterers. Also try www.confetti.co.uk. It's geared more towards weddings but you can do a venue search so there may be something on there.

Thanks for help, it was quick so is that why you have named yourself the name you have??

No problem!

No just that I'm bored at the moment and killing a bit of time!

We book the campus near Asda, they have a hall and a student priced bar. Kim Brown hospitality supervisor Christ church university 01843 609146.

Hi is this open to all or just students do you know, and do you have a rough price, they wouldn`t do food though would they?

[miss skippy]

It is open to the public, I asked as it's a great venue and at the time I was social secreatary of a club based in C bury. I don't know the price as I play bass in a band and we use it 2 or 3 times a year for a gig.The students do the sound and lighting for us, so it helps us both out. I got the name of the lady I gave you when I was last there earlier this year. They also said they will let out student rooms in the holidays for an overnight stay when hiring the hall out.

In a pickle what a lovely place but its too far for people to travel too from where we live unfortunatly.

Eastwell manor is very nice but expensive and a long way from Thanet. The club I belong to, use the Marine Hotel in Tankerton, also the Darwin college at Canterbury University and Quex park in Margate, these we use for our dinner dances and are not that cheap. For quizzes and barn dances etc we use Tyler Hill village hall and one over in Lower Hardes but these are all a long way from Thanet. Our club in based in C bury but we have members from all over Kent from Medway to Folkestone and in between. That is why we try to vary our venues. If the one I gave yesterday is any good please let me know, thanks.

Maybe, just maybe, this could help solve your problem: http://www.plumbuffets.co.uk/catering-coventry.html

Do you live with your parents? If you are then it's pretty far from where you live though. But I think they can manage to get there.
