Wedding Venue Spotlight: The Parcel Yard
in Kings Cross Station
Pub weddings are becoming increasingly popular amongst the sophisticated bride and groom. Gone are the days where happy couples were restricted to saying ‘I Do’ in a particular setting. In fact, weddings are much more flexible than they used to be, offering couples the freedom to have the wedding day they want. As a result, many are seeking out more casual and unique wedding venues, such as characterful pubs.
Many of us have spent some of our happiest moments in pubs – they are a place you go to where you can relax with a proper pint or a large Sauvignon after a hard day’s work. You can pop-in when you’re in need of a refreshment pit-stop while travelling, or celebrate special occasions with family and friends. So why should it ever be any different for your wedding day?
A pub has a unique atmosphere that rivals many other styles of venues, and it’s this atmosphere that can often be impossible to find and even replicate elsewhere, giving the location a personal and intimate vibe.
A truly unique Wedding Venue
The Parcel Yard is a wedding venue unlike any other. A historic Grade I listed building in Kings Cross Station, the pub occupies the original Great Northern Railway parcel office built in 1852.
The North West building was an integral part of Lewis Cubitt’s design, and many original features have been kept, such as the entire floor which uses timber from the same building. With nine different function rooms to choose from depending on the size of your wedding – from a cosy room for an intimate gathering, or a grand area to celebrate – we have a place that will suit you.
Premium pub food and drinks
For the foodie-loving couples, Fuller’s pubs are renowned for their unmistakable mouth-watering menus including Chef Signature dishes and the more traditional premium pub classics. Weddings at The Parcel Yard include incredible food and drink offers at affordable prices, without compromising on quality.
A friendly team that goes above and beyond
We offer a personal service and will help design a package that will take the pain out of planning. Our events team have a wealth of experience in delivering attention to detail combined with outstanding service that’s sure to meet, and exceed, expectations.
By having just one person dedicated to the supervision of your booking and helping you every step of the way, we can offer you tailor-made packages to suit your needs; and will work closely with you in the run up to your big day to help you design a wedding that is as individual as you are.
Easy travel?
Served by no less than six TFL Underground tube lines, numerous National Rail links as well as Eurostar at St Pancras just across the street, The Parcel Yard is located within one of London’s biggest transport hubs, making it a breeze for the wedding party, and guests, to get to. Not to mention it’s handily located for jumping on the Eurostar to Paris for the honeymoon…
