"the customer is the most important person in the room."
The Exhibition Hotel’s friendly landlords Shuni and Danny Davies understand that sometimes, an informal, relaxed approach is what people are really looking for.
And with a major focus on quality – from ingredients, to beverage selection, and service – they appreciate that the customer is the most important person in the room.
Our pub and conservatory offer guests a choice of tables for indoor dining and
drinking, but on a sunny day you’ll probably opt to sit outside in our stunning beer garden. This sun-trap was once crowned ‘Courvoisier Beer Garden of the Year’ thanks to its glorious flowers and foliage, and delightfully private spots where you can take some well-deserved time out from sightseeing.
In the winter why not come and enjoy our atmospheric heated gazebo's!
