Saturdays at Pilkingtons have been all about unforgettable get-togethers and the best vibes at our Bottomless & Long Lunches. We've cherished every laugh, every toast, and every special moment shared with you all.

As we prepare to close our doors tomorrow, we want to remind you that the fun doesn’t have to stop! Our friends at and are keeping the tradition alive with their own Long Lunches every Saturday for just $65pp. Make sure to check them out and keep the good times rolling.

Thank you for making our Saturdays so special. 🍾

Thank you for making Pilkingtons a special part of your routine. We hope to see you for one final hurrah!

We’ve been honoured to host so many beautiful weddings and to witness countless love stories unfold. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most important moments of your lives, sharing your joy and love in front of your closest friends and family.

As we prepare to close our doors in August, we’re reflecting on all the cherished memories we’ve been a part of. Your celebrations have filled Pilkingtons with love and happiness, and we are so grateful for every single one.

Let’s make our final days together as magical as the weddings we’ve hosted. 🥂❤

🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You from Pilkingtons 🌟

After nearly 10 years we have decided not to renew our lease and will close our doors one final time on 31st July. We believe Pilkingtons has made its mark on the ever-changing city landscape and it feels like the right time for Vanessa and me to move on to exciting new ventures.

We want to take a moment to thank every one of you for the incredible memories we've shared. From the laughter and celebrations to everything in between, Pilkingtons has been more than just a venue for us, it’s been a place where our customers, friends, and family have enjoyed special moments and memories have been created.

We want to thank all our staff past and present and the wonderful supply partners who have made this all possible

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

Cheers Paul & Ness
