Pegasus Bar & Restaurant

A relaxed space with indoor and outdoor flow

Pegasus Bar offers a more intimate alternative to the venue’s larger event spaces, with a layout that encourages guests to move comfortably between the interior and The Terrace.

The Terrace is particularly popular in spring and summer, providing a natural extension to the space for drinks and conversation. Large parasols offer shade during the day, while outdoor heaters support use in cooler weather.

How Pegasus Bar & Restaurant is typically used

At weekends, when the estate is often quieter, the space provides a calm and welcoming setting for smaller gatherings.

Events can be arranged as standing receptions with flexible seating for up to 50 guests, or as seated dining for up to 33 guests. Bowl food, buffets and canapé-style service work particularly well, while seated dining can be tailored for more intimate occasions.

Background music can be played through USB, supporting a relaxed and informal atmosphere throughout.

What people are saying about The Inner Temple

“It was such a happy day! After a lovely service with The Master of Temple Robin Griffith-Jones officiating with the help of Nina's elder sister we gathered in the Drawing Room for a feast prepared by Matthew and presented with charm and warmth by Ada and Chris which everyone in our all ages party enjoyed hugely. A day in Temple for us all to remember.”
