The best thing would be a hotel I think Skip,w where you can book a private function room. That lodge we stayed in was great and it wasnt in a city centre. I was expensive though, we were desperate at the time, I had booked a cheap hotel but I wouldnt stay there, it was dirty, so we just had to find something quick. A lot of out of centre lodges do have pubs near but I dont think they do private function rooms, plus there would have to be enough to make it viable. I used to enjoy the early FF meetings at the pub, we didnt really talk that much debt though, it was more about meeting each other and spending some time with people in the same boat. It was a huge relief to me to make and stay friends with someone having gone through all the emotions. To know I wasnt a 'freak' or 'scum' for getting myself knee deep in stuff.
I understand the meetings have moved on from then and are now more structured, perhaps now a private meeting place is more suitable. Back then they were not so focussed on debt issues.
