I recently interviewed Colin Regan, the owner of the New Inn at Hayes. I was told of a new events hall opening upstairs, and I was keen to know more.

The new events hall is equipped with the latest equipment that you will need to host your occasion. With excellent beverage and food available, along with a large space for your guests, the events hall in the New Inn is the ‘new’ place to host your special occasion.

Speaking to Colin, I was told ‘Set within 10,000 square feet the grand scale and classic design of the New Inn provides the perfect setting for a special occasion. Our brand new first floor events venue Regans has a seating capacity of 160 (220 standing) and is fitted with luxurious décor, bar, stage and top quality sound system making this the ideal choice for your event’. It sounds as if The New Inn will inject the party life missing from this lovely high street in Hayes.

When I asked Regan about the types of events they can host in this venue, he mentioned a wide range, from parties to weddings to corporate occasions: ‘If you’re having a birthday or any type of special occasion our first-floor events room, Regans, will provide the perfect setting. From a lunch event, a sit down three course dinner through to a standing champagne reception, everything can be catered to exactly what you want. The availability of the stage can provide the setting for some great live entertainment that we would source for you based on your requirements’.

One thing I think is especially unique to this venue is the availability of not only a fully stocked bar (supplied by people who know their drinks!), but also the opportunity to let Regans take control and relieve the stress building up to your big day. Colin mentioned how ‘Each wedding package is planned to your personal requirements covering catering, drinks, décor and entertainment, we will ensure your reception is exactly as you want it. For all wedding bookings, we invite you to come down to the New Inn, have a glass of champagne, look around the venue and discuss your special night with our team personally’.

It seems that the New Inn is the ‘new’ place to host your occasion!
