The Boiler Room 

Private hire function rooms in Oxford don’t get much better than the Boiler Room at The Lighthouse.

The Boiler Room boasts a dedicated bar, a fireplace and a projector screen.

Our private party venue can host up to 25 guests for a seated dining experience OR 40-50 guests for drinks and nibbles.

If your booking is for a larger number of guests we recommend The Study at The Oxford Retreat.

The Lighthouse tapas-restaurant concept combines lighter-portion cuisine with an emphasis on interactive social dining which is ideally suited to private functions and private parties. Contact us to find out more about our private function menu options.

Our venue is located close to all main transit in Oxford city centre. The Oxford train station is less than a 5 minute walk while the central Oxford coach station is even closer. Nearly all bus routes stop close to the Lighthouse including Park-and-Rides from Seacourt, Thornhill, Redbridge, Water Eaton and Oxford Parkway.

Our aesthetic

The Lighthouse Boiler Room, and the rest of The Lighthouse is Nautica-Steampunk themed. Our riverside setting acted as the inland beacon and tavern for navigators of the Oxford Canal in the early 19th Century. So too our interior design and carefully placed lighting creates a bright and cheerful ‘house of light’ in which to host your private event or party. The private hire room is a pleasure to the eye and photographs like a dream.

At The Lighthouse we are committed to crafting a space that is perfect for your next party, event or special occasion. Contact us or visit us to start planning!
