The Banqueting Room is hired out with the Great Kitchen (which can also be hired on its own), where guests can enjoy pre-dinner drinks in one of the most innovative royal kitchens of its time. Sometimes referred to as the 'King's Kitchen', the Great Kitchen was modern for its time. George, who was obsessed with food and dining, conceived this kitchen and would often escort and impress his VIP guests with this room showcasing his innovative facilities. It was truly one of the first 'show kitchens' in the world. This room now serves as a fantastic setting for dinners and drinks.
