OUR EVENTS PLANNING TEAM

Amy & Kate are here to help you create the perfect event from start to finish.

Amy, owner of The Gloucester Old Spot, and Kate, one of her oldest friends, make up our events planning team. They’ve been firm friends since they were eight years old – and now they work together organising and coordinating all of the functions we host at the pub.

Whether you’re planning a birthday, wedding, celebration, wake, work event or something completely different, Amy and Kate are here to make the whole process as easy and enjoyable as possible. From your very first enquiry through to the event itself, they’ll help with the details, answer your questions, talk through food, drinks and timings, and make sure everything comes together smoothly.

We aim to respond to all Function Enquiries within 24 hours, and we’ll be on hand throughout the planning process to make your event feel stress-free, personal and completely tailored to you. And yes, that really is us! This photo was taken back in 1992, when we dressed up as the Tour de France for a fancy dress competition. We’ve been a team for a very long time!

It could not have gone better!

We held our daughter’s first birthday party in the Marquee, and it could not have gone better! The guests loved the atmosphere, and the food was constantly complimented on. Amy and the team really went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly. We thought we might wrap up early, but the guests were having such a good time that we stayed right until the end. We will be coming back here again. Fantastic experience.

Adam Perry

Such a lovely pub with a lovely vibe.

The old spot helped us to host a corporate event for 25 people. The buffet was fantastic and the staff were so accommodating and lovely.

We couldn’t recommend it more!

We had an amazing time and it’s such a lovely venue and function space. Thanks so much for an amazing night guys.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the pub for an event.

I had my 40th birthday party at the Gloucester Old Spot and it was fabulous. The pub looked so pretty, decorated with Chinese lanterns and fairy lights, and the buffet was delicious, with many people commenting on this to me. The staff were so helpful on the night, and organising the event beforehand was very straightforward, with one in-person meeting and the rest done over email. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the pub for an event, or to have an event there again.

Lyndsay

I would absolutely not hesitate to book again.

I hosted my friend’s baby shower in the marquee out in the garden in November. It was perfectly heated and beautifully decorated, only needing a few extra special touches from me. The staff were a perfect mix of hospitable but stood back and allowed us to do what we needed/wanted to do. I would absolutely not hesitate to book again now that I know what a lovely venue this is. The food was also delicious and plentiful- we went for a pizza buffet and it was throughly enjoyed by all.

They couldn’t have done enough for us!

We had our engagement party at The Gloucester Old Spot and they couldn’t have done enough for us! Super accommodating, always responsive to any messages, and they made us feel so welcome and looked after on the night.
