Christenings at The Hermit
Welcome a new member of your family at The Hermit
The Hermit is perfect for buffet style Christenings. We can welcome groups of up to 50 in our recently refurbished events space with a combination of seating and standing.
We have an extensive buffet menu from as little as £15 per head. Our handpicked selection of nibbles and Hermit favourites can be tailored specifically to suit your group. From Hermit hand stretched pizza and skin on fries up to oak roast salmon with asparagus or rare roast beef with watercress and horseradish, there is genuinely something for everyone.
If you would prefer a sit down meal our large private table seats up to 12 or the whole events space can be configured to seat 25-30.
Exceptional buffet options specifically tailored to your guests
The Hermit menu is always prepared fresh on site, including our legendary hand stretched stone-baked pizzas made with our in house Hermit dough, alongside a range of delicious hot and cold buffets options.
Our buffet menu is designed to be vegetarian, vegan and gluten free friendly with a specific range of dishes to suit such diners in addition to vegan cheese options for all our pizzas.

“Fantastic day with friends and family at The Hermit for our Wedding Reception.”
“Great Canapes with the Fizz followed by a delicious selection of the Hermit's starters and main courses. George and the Team were absolutely wonderful and attentive - and even managed to make the sun shine as we arrived. Can thoroughly recommend the Hermit if you are planning a small event..”

“Yorkshire Hospitality Done Right.”
“When I needed a venue for a surprise birthday lunch, I rang a few places in the area - I'm so glad we picked this one. Right from the start, the staff at the Hermit were helpful and accomodating. Their function room turned out to be the ideal venue for a group of about 20 family and friends on a Sunday lunchtime. The pub has been beautifully renovated, the choice of ales is excellent and food and service is superb. The Manager George and his team discreetly helped us pull off the surprise and seemed to enjoy it too! After a long walk over Ikley Moor, the birthday girls and all her guests had a wonderful afternoon at this pub. We can't wait to go back.”
