Birthday party venues near you at Hungry Horse

A great pub brings people together, from casual meet-ups to big milestones. And what better reason to gather than a birthday?

At Hungry Horse, we love a good celebration. Whether it’s kids wanting fun for their big day, or grown-ups rounding up their favourite people for another lap around the sun, we’ve got you covered if you’re looking for a birthday party venue near you.

Think tasty food, flowing drinks, and a warm atmosphere to savour. You just focus on celebrating in style, while we handle the rest.

Plus, there’s no mess to worry about cleaning up the next day. We can’t guarantee there won’t be a few sore heads though...

Let Hungry Horse be your party host

Hungry Horse is a pub for the whole family, from tots and toddlers to teens, everyone’s got a seat at the table. And that goes double for birthday parties.

We know making memories matters, so kids can gather their mates for a special meal, and tuck into pub classics like fish and chips, pasta, and burgers from our main menu or kids’ menu. If you give staff enough notice, they may even be able to pull together a special party menu filled with their favourites.

And don’t forget pudding! From cakes to brownies and layered sundaes loaded with all the trimmings, we’ve got the sweet stuff covered.

Some of our beer gardens come with outdoor play areas too. Think slides to conquer, climbing frames to explore, and swings to reach new heights. Let the kids play while parents take a well-earned breather!

Birthdays aren’t just for kids. Every age is worth celebrating, especially when shared with the people who matter most.

As well as a tasty meal, some of our Hungry Horse pubs have function spaces to hire for adults too. Like The Four Seasons in Laindon in Basildon or The Twynersh in Chertsey, which both offer a function room for private dining or bigger events.

Go wild with Wacky Warehouse

Want to score some serious parent points? A birthday party at Wacky Warehouse is always a hit with little ones.

With giant slides to conquer and ball pits to dive into, the soft play centres are built for fun, and designed for a cushioned landing.

Soft play might not always be the popular choice for parents, but a birthday party in a pub with soft play means kids can let off steam while adults relax nearby with a drink in hand and something tasty to eat. It’s fun for them, and an easy win for you.

Birthdays are a special occasion, and when you need to keep costs low, Hungry Horse can offer a mega celebration without the mega bill. We’ve got deals and special offers seven days a week on food and drink, so there’s never a bad day to celebrate a birthday.

But low costs doesn’t mean low quality. Our range of tasty pub classics are packed with flavour and never skimp on portion size. Tuck into hearty pies, aromatic curries, stacked burgers and succulent grills. Wash things down with a glass of something special from the bar, and finish with a perfect pudding. It’s a feast for the whole family without any faff.

Key tips for a great birthday at every age

Whether it’s a kid’s party or an adult get together, there are some birthday rules that apply at any age…

There’s no such thing as too much cake

Cake for breakfast? Cake for lunch? Cake for an afternoon snack? Birthdays come round once a year, so treat yourself. And don’t let anyone judge. We’ve got your back.

Singing is not optional

If a crowd of people don’t sing to the birthday star with a cake of candles, did the birthday even happen? No one has to be a professional, but you do need to give it your best go. Lip syncers be warned, this isn’t a time for silence.

‘But it’s my birthday’ can excuse a lot…but not everything

Yes, it’s your day but the world can’t revolve around you. People can only control so much. Want to wear a crown and enjoy two rounds of dessert? Go for it. Want the clouds to part, the sun to shine, and Oasis to pop up for a surprise set? That one might be a stretch.

Sometimes it’s ok to cry

Birthdays can get a bit much. With all the fuss, attention and fun, it’s natural to have a lot of big emotions. And no, we’re not just talking to the kids…
