Meeting Space in Glen Mills, PennsylvaniaThe Meeting Is the Same.
The Room Isn’t.

In two of the rooms. The Library and the Wine Cellar both have screens on the wall that you are welcome to use, and there is a microphone if you need one. The Britannia Room does not have a screen, and we would rather tell you that here than at the door. Tell Zoe what you are planning to put on the screen when you inquire and she will confirm exactly how to get your laptop onto it before you commit to a room.

Yes. Guest Wi-Fi is free at The Crown and your whole group is welcome to it, so nobody is tethering off a phone halfway through the morning.

The Britannia Room has a door that closes behind the last person in, and the Wine Cellar is downstairs and away from the restaurant entirely. The Library is the most open of the three, which is what makes it good for a large group and worth knowing about in advance. Tell your coordinator you need the room properly private and she will tell you honestly which of them is that on your date.

The Britannia Room is one long table with everybody around it, which is what makes it read like a boardroom. The Library takes long tables down the middle, or splits into smaller tables your group can move between. The Wine Cellar is usually set with rounds. Tell your coordinator how you want the room laid out and roughly how the day runs, and she will have it set before you arrive rather than while you are standing in it.

Yes, and this is the part worth being clear about. Tell your coordinator when you want to break and the kitchen works to that hour. If your morning runs long, tell us on the day and we will hold it... the point is that lunch fits around your agenda rather than the other way round.

Yes. Send them over with your final count and the kitchen builds around them, whether that is gluten, shellfish, nut allergies, vegetarian or vegan. Tell your coordinator whose is whose as well... it is far easier for the servers to look after a guest by name than to go hunting for a raised hand in the middle of a meeting.

Yes. The standard shape is an hour to set up and three hours in the room, which suits a meeting with lunch in the middle of it. If you need the room from nine until one, or for the whole day, tell Zoe the hours you have in mind when you inquire and she will tell you what is open on your date.

No. No room fee, no linen fee and no credit-card fee. Event menus start at $29 a guest, a 20% service charge applies and taxes are folded into the quote, so the per-person price is genuinely the price. A $100 deposit holds the date and comes straight back off the final bill.

The Britannia Room seats 32, the Library seats 65, and the Wine Cellar seats 90. Most meetings here land in the Britannia Room, because thirty-two is the point where everybody still sits at one table rather than calling across two of them. Fewer than a dozen and it is worth a word with Zoe about which room suits you best... a room built for thirty feels empty with eight in it.

There is parking on site and it is free. We are at 451 Wilmington West Chester Pike in Glen Mills, straight down 202, which is what makes us easy to reach from Chadds Ford, Concordville, Media, West Chester and Wilmington. Nobody arrives late because they were circling for a space.

Please do. Once the meeting is finished the tavern is right there, and plenty of the best conversations happen after the agenda runs out. Happy hour starts at four Tuesday through Friday and three at the weekend, and runs until six either way. Mention it when you book and we will make sure there is somewhere to land.

No, and it is worth being straight about it. The Crown is a tavern with private rooms rather than a conference center. What that means in practice is a room of your own with a door that closes, free Wi-Fi, coffee on the table, parking outside and a kitchen that sends lunch in when you asked for it. If your day needs a screen, the Library has one. If it needs a full conference set-up, we are not that, and most meetings do not need one.
