PARTIES AND EVENTS

The modern glass conservatory opens out onto the picturesque gardens and gives a bright and airy atmosphere by day, by night it is transformed into a magically romantic scene as you gaze out over the discreetly lit trees towards the river and the setting sun.

If you are looking to hold a party celebration please contact us in the first instance by email at bookings@fightingcockshortonkirby.co.uk. We will be happy to discuss your requirements. Charges illustrated below.

The Old Git's Christmas Party
As a bunch of ageing tennis players we always have a Christmas do and have been to a lot of places over the years. We came to the Fighting Cocks last year and had such a great time that we came back again this year. And we weren't disappointed!
It just gets better, the service is always very friendly, the food was excellent and we were thoroughly looked after all day. The pub has been improved over the years beyond measure and is now a great place to relax with a good selection of ales, a lovely dining room, and is set in a great location by the river. Thanks Chris and Vanessa, we all had a great day! 5 Stars
