Unique Function Venue

Imposing & Impressive

Spacious and elegantly decorated, San Tonino is the ideal function venue for hosting so many celebratory occasions in the Shaftesbury area of Dorset.

Prettied up for a wedding or anniversary celebration, laid with formal place settings for a business meeting or awards ceremony, or bubbling with festive fizz for a birthday bash – our superb space copes with it all.

Set in a converted old chapel the interior of our restaurant is large and lofty, imbued with character and lit with tall arched windows. From the outside the Bath stone building is imposing and impressive, with its soaring Corinthian columns flanking the entrance.

We can comfortably seat 100 diners (more at a pinch), so send out the invitations and leave the rest to us.

Private Functions

We offer the use of the entire restaurant for private functions – preferably not during weekends or busy periods – but are happy to host large tables of guests at any time with advance notice.

When you hire the restaurant for a function you can choose between having a buffet meal provided or just have your guests order from our a la carte menu. Our competent and friendly staff will be available to serve you, and we also have a cocktail bar.

When you book for a function we’ll have a chat about your requirements – we can provide decorations on request, and make any other arrangements that will ensure your occasion sparkles.

Central, Convenient & Well Connected

If you’re looking for a venue in central Shaftesbury for a function that is convenient for your guests you’ll find the San Tonino is easy to access.

There is a handy car park – The Angel Lane Pay & Display car park – just a stone’s throw away. (Postcode SP7 8DF – JustPark location no. 3640). There’s room for 55 cars and a maximum period of 10 hours, which should give you ample time to enjoy yourself.

Shaftesbury boasts several excellent taxi services if your guests need a ride home in the area, and the town is well connected by bus to the city of Salisbury and the town of Gillingham where there are rail connections.

If you have guests attending your function who require overnight accommodation you’ll be spoilt for choice in Shaftesbury. There’s a selection of hotels, B&Bs and self-catering cottages right in the middle of town within walking distance of our restaurant – or you can opt for a stay in Dorset’s tranquil countryside.
