The Etruscan Room is the focal point of any function on Temple Island and can host up to 40 for a lunch or dinner. Of fine proportions, it commands magnificent views of the River Thames and the surrounding countryside.
The frescos, now beautifully restored, were based on designs which had just been discovered at Pompeii around the time the Temple was built in 1771. This is the first example in England of the form of ornamentation which came to be known as the Etruscan Style.
The caterers for Temple Island have been selected not only for their excellent food and service but also because they have many years of experience in the logistics of operating on the Island.
They will provide an event manager to ensure that your function runs smoothly and will do everything possible to meet your catering needs, be it a stand-up finger buffet for 20 or a waitress-served 5-course meal for 120.
