PUGIN HALL

Named after the architect, Augustus Welby Pugin, this is considered by many to be his finest hall. Built in the 1840’s the wide span and lancet windows give elegance to the room, where seminarians dine during their seven years of

formation in Maynooth College. The portraits feature some of the early professors of the College, which was founded in 1795. Three of them, Anglade, De La Hogue and Darré, were priests from the Sorbonne in Paris, who escaped from

the repression of the French Revolution and spent the rest of their lives in Maynooth.

Pugin Hall is the venue for major banquets and College celebrations, such as the annual Maynooth Union, Conferences

and Conferring Ceremonies.

Dear Client,

We are delighted to enclose the 2014/15 Hospitality Brochure for your perusal. Whilst compiling

this document we have reviewed what is currently offered onsite, and considered the

different demographics that may use the service as well as tiered the menu content so as to suit

all budgets and requirements.

With our wealth of experience managing client dining and hospitality services we have carefully

compiled a selection of menus which are designed to enhance the value of your time. Coupled with

a discreet service our aim is not to impede or distract from the progress of your meeting.

We are happy to discuss any special events or requirements you may have in mind even if they fall
