The house sleeps up to 20 so we can actually host a great party for ~20, or more...
We can seat up to 118 in one room, 160 between two gorgeous rooms. This may not be the regular set up but this is not your ordinary venue. We like to do the speeches before the meal in the garden or off the grand staircase so there is much greater flexibility PLUS you will be to able to relax and taste the food! Another option is a buffet style party, for 50+ or larger numbers, with free range seating – which might include sitting on the garden wall overlooking the lake.
We ask that you select from the following long menu to create your own for the evening. Your guests will then be asked to choose from your selection in advance please. It is actually quite easy and a useful RSVP tool. We do this because, as a Country House rather than a hotel, we do not carry a lot of stock. Also because we offer such an extensive menu it means that we do not usually offer tastings. However if it is important to you then you may be able to come for dinner one evening on one of our B&B evenings.
