Meetings on the move
If you’re looking for a venue with the wow factor check out this selection of mobile meeting spaces with a difference. All of them can be booked through Inntel, and we have plenty more ideas where these came from!
Deckerdence
The Deckerdence is a beautiful adapted vintage double-decker that is available for parties and events with between 25 and 300 guests (with additional space provided in a marquee that encircles the bus). The lower deck is kitted out as a traditional bar serving draft ale, lager and cider through the side windows and the upper deck has been transformed into a glamorous oak-panelled cocktail lounge. While the bus is based in Warwickshire the central location makes it convenient for bookings right across the country.
Bateaux Windsor
The Bateaux Windsor is a restaurant on a boat that runs along a stretch of the Thames between Windsor and Maidenhead. In addition to a programme of scheduled trips (such as the Afternoon Tea cruise) the Bateaux Windsor is available to hire out for private events ranging from a private lunch to an evening stand-up reception. The length the trip varies according to the meal that is being served, with a three hour evening cruise giving you time for a Prosecco reception, a four course dinner and petit fours.
Events in the Sky
Events in the Sky is a company that does exactly what its name suggests, organising dining events at special ‘sky tables’ that are lifted 100 feet in the air by a mobile crane to give guests a thrilling gourmet experience. Up to 22 diners can be seated around the table for an event with the head chef, servers and sommelier stationed at a pop-up kitchen in the middle of the table. The tables themselves are purpose built to strict safety standards and all guests are fastened into their seats before the table is raised. Definitely an experience – but not for the faint hearted or altophobic!
