Banqueting in Edinburgh at Best Western Kings Manor Hotel
Banqueting and private dining

The Kings Manor's local reputation for all types of banqueting has taken a long time to gain and is jealously guarded. Over the past quarter of a century several thousand couples have celebrated the start of married life here, hundreds of babies have had their christening lunch with us and countless thousands of sore heads have resulted from company and association dinner dances.

With 4 main rooms for banqueting, the Kings Manor can professionally cater for most occasions. Our main Forth Suite is capable of accommodating just over 100 people for a formal dinner and up to 120 for a dance and smaller rooms are ideal for a family celebration for 10.

Table setting

The Forth Suite is an ideal location for any event involving dancing, its central dance floor being of a generous size. The Forth Suite has its own private bar with a large lounge area making it ideal for those wishing to escape from the hubbub of the main event. The room is also air conditioned and has its own toilet facilities.

The Milton Suite is another room popular with dancers. Although it is not usually possible to serve full meals in The Milton Suite we regularly serve both hot and cold buffets here. The room has a more intimate feel and is often used for events such as Golden Wedding Anniversaries or 40th Birthday Parties.

The Cosy  Scott Room Set for a small dinner party

The Scott Room is set just off the main restaurant and offers private dining for parties up to 14. Its proximity to the restaurant allows diners to take advantage of the facilities of the restaurant   whilst still having the privacy of their own room. It has recently been refurbished with light Ash wood- paneling and air conditioning being installed.


Entertainment

Resident disco

We have a resident disco that regularly plays at weddings, dinner dances, birthday parties etc. and we can offer assistance in finding a suitable band or other entertainment that you may require. We have obtained ceilidh bands, duos and trios, one-man bands and pipers. Speciality entertainers such as table magicians and children's entertainers can also be arranged. If you have your own favourite band or entertainer it is usually possible for you to bring them along subject to health and safety regulations that will be outlined by our Duty Manager.
