Special birthdays...an 18th,.. a 21st,..a 40th,..a 50th,..a 60th,..or even a 90th birthday?....

If you are looking to plan a special birthday celebration, let us offer you the benefit of our years of experience in planning for that perfect event.

We are able to help in the planning, preparation and delivery of your celebration with care and attention to the detail.

The Glen-yr-Afon House Hotel provides the perfect setting with first class service and menu options to enhance your celebration. From the time you start to consider a date for your birthday celebration to the day/evening itself, we are on hand to assist.

Whether its your 21st birthday, your 30th birthday or your 40th birthday and you would like to celebrate with family and friends providing entertainment for their enjoyment, we are available to help. Perhaps it's a 50th, 60th or 70th birthday and you would like to provide a celebration dinner, lunch or even a champagne breakfast for family and friends, then again we are here to help.

For 90th and the amazing 100th birthday celebrations perhaps an afternoon tea would be your choice - whatever the age a celebration is always enjoyed so do not hesitate to call us and we will be pleased to assist with your arrangements.

We have a selection of venue rooms to choose from - the Library and Clarkes Dining Room for smaller parties and the Ballroom for larger parties with the provision of a private bar facility.

The venue room you choose will be decorated with appropriate colour coordinated floral table centres, for which no extra charge is made, and will also include the use of the hotel's cake stand and knife, if required, again free of charge. Colour coordinated menus and table plans are also provided, free of charge. Should you wish to further enhance the look of the room, we can consider your requirements in our planning discussions.

We can also assist with your entertainment requirements being able to recommend a variety of bands, roadshow hosts, magicians, string quartets, harpists etc - all of whom we are happy to liaise with, on your behalf.

The Function Menu options and buffet menu options can be viewed together with an example A la Carte menu however should you wish to discuss alternatives please let us know. Head Chef is happy to consider each party's individual requirements and create a 'special' menu when requested.

So, whether it's an Afternoon Tea, a formal dinner, a Sunday Lunch, a Champagne Breakfast or an intimate dinner with family and friends, we can provide a birthday celebration to remember for many years to come.

NEW: 'I would just like to tell you that the party (70th birthday) went extremely well and my wife was pleased. The buffet was a delight and enjoyed by all. Thank you for the help you gave me and extend my thanks to the other staff involved..' (Bob Hewitt) - 27th November 2011

'I am just writing to say a big thank you to you and all the staff at the Glen-yr-Afon for making my mother's 80th birthday so special. Everyone was very impressed with the hotel, the meal and the service from the very efficient staff on duty. From the comments that I heard everyone enjoyed themselves very much. Thank you once again for all your help and we would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone thinking of holdng a function there'. (Sue Christopher) - 26th June 2011

'We would like to express our thanks to you and the staff who waited on us last Saturday at Caroline's Birthday Party. We were expecting superb food and we were not disappointed - everything was delicious. We had our three grandchilden there and we were very impressed by the way the staff dealt with their needs and put up with a two year old not always in his seat! - their meals were great and one of the adults would have chosen the fish fingers given the chance. You really know how to `do' an occasion - it was hard to believe there was anything else going on in the hotel, let alone a wedding, such was the attention we received. The staff waiting on us were pleasant, efficient and personable - all of which combined to make a very memorable occasion. Please pass on our thanks. (Michael Price - 60th birthday celebrations- 15th July 2011)

We had a wonderful time at the Glen-Yr-Afon. Everything was outstanding, from the service, food, rooms - I really must say it surpassed my expectations and it all went so smoothly. All our guests were full of praise for the venue, food and the staff. Thank you so much for making sure that everything was organised to such a high quality. My mum loved it...' (Sian East - 70th Birthday celebrations - 3rd August 2010)

'Many thanks for all your help in arranging my son's 18th birthday lunch. The food, staff and service received was first class. We look forward to dining with you in the future..' (Elizabeth Beard)

'The excellent experience started from the moment you helped us organise my mum's birthday celebration - everything was covered and my wife and I were very impressed by the fact that you took care of so many ancillary items (bespoke menus, table decorations, private room etc) at no extra charge. On the evening itself, the recption staff and the waiters and waitresses could not have done more to make my mother (and indeed the rest of us) feel like special guests of the Glen-Yr-Afon.' Paul Williams (August 2010)
