Wedding Guests dining
the night before:
If you are a wedding guest booking your meal for the night before a wedding, we will confirm your booking and charge your card you used to book your room, £25 per two course meal, as a non-refundable deposit. The room itself will be charged to your card upon arrival.
Wedding Couples dining
at a Wedding Taster Meal:
If you are a wedding couple booking one of our wedding taster meals, these are held mostly on our Open Days. You'll be able to see the Conservatory set up as if for a wedding banquet with different table centrepieces and settings.
Your evening meal or wedding taster meal will be served in the main function room, which is used for Evening Parties and Disco/ dancing on wedding nights.
If you are a prospective wedding couple, you can book a wedding viewing with a Wedding Planner before your Meal, book your viewing here.
