Information For The Gatsby
The Gatsby is situated in a restored art deco cinema in the beautiful historic market town of Berkhamsted, Herts. We are an independently owned business and pride ourselves on attentive service.
The Gatsby has become the premier destination for fine food and drink in Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas. Our reputation is founded upon attentive service and a well balanced menu using the finest ingredients upon which we have been rewarded an AA Rosette. The bar offers an extensive wine, cocktail and champagne list in a relaxed and refined environment. The stylish 1930’s art deco interior provides a timelessly elegant backdrop for any special occasion. Let us provide everything you need for a truly memorable reception, from an intimate family gathering to a large celebration. Our front of house team has wide experience in event organising and our chefs can create exciting and delicious menus to suit your special day. What makes us really stand out from other venues is our ability to completely tailor make your day. Once the venue has been booked and the deposit paid, you are invited to sit down with our Head chef and hand pick your food, and with our front of house team to clarify how you would like your day to run. You will have hired the venue so YOU decide.........
We have an extensive wine list boasting over 40 varieties. We are delighted to say that we serve Laurent Perrier as our house Champagne. Our cocktails are mixed by our fully trained bar team and are made to the highest standard every time. If you have a favourite cocktail that does not feature on our list, just let us know what it is and we will happily perfect it for your special day.
We can also recommend DJ’s, and other musicians for your entertainment as well as photographers and florists.
The Gatsby was originally the grand entrance to The Rex cinema which first opened in 1938. However in 1988, the cinema closed its doors to the public due to dwindling audience figures.
Thankfully in 2004, this sleeping beauty opened its eyes once again, with a beautifully restored cinema, followed a year later by The Gatsby restaurant below, offering the perfect environment for those special occasions.
The original 1930’s art deco still runs throughout the bar and restaurant untouched. As you enter The Gatsby you are greeted by the sight of the grand stair case that once led through to the cinema screen. The magnificent crystal chandelier proudly shows off the same hand carved coving that continues into the restaurant that was once the ticket booth and tea room. A large screen projects classic black and white films onto the bar wall and a classic white baby grand piano sits comfortably at the back of the restaurant. This is a true vintage setting.
