Most chain-type restaurants don't open until 11:00, which is too late. Any help is much appreciated! Lisa Mon Sep 20 10:56:52 -0700 2004 0 Lisa 1 864052 Off the top of my head I can't think of any restaurants I feel confident meet these needs, but what about a hotel? Nearly all hotels can handle this, some in a function room, and others have restaurant areas large enough. Just an idea...

Wayfarer is very close to the airport and BVI about 10 minutes more away although both in Bedford. Don't know if either of those two are in the exact area you're looking for. Wayfarer may be your best bet regarding price and accommodation for a group of 25. My link below will give you a list of hotels close to the airport to give you a central area to work from.
