Frequently asked questions
-
What is the price for the Dinner Date?
Dinner Date tickets are ÂŁ52 per person, and includes a welcome drink, 4-course meal (Starter, Mains, Chef's choice of sorbet & Dessert) plus wine samples with your meal. For couples with upcoming weddings, please do check your package as 2 Dinner Date tickets may be included. -
Can I bring friends & family?
Of course - the more the merrier. However, these events are adult-only. -
What are the menu options?
Once you have picked out your desired Dinner Date based on the seasonality of your wedding, contact us to request Chef's menu for your specific event. Each set menu will include 4 starters, 4 mains & 4 desserts, taken from our Spring / Summer, or Autumn Winter Classical menu, for you to choose from. -
Are Spring / Summer menus available in the Spring & Summer?
In an ideal world this would be the case, but as we are rather busy in Spring & Summer, we often have to arrange these Dinner Dates in the Autumn & Winter. Our Chefs do their best to get the best produce irrespective of the season, but sometimes there is a compromise. Rest assured, on your actual wedding day, your food & drink will be bursting with seasonal freshness. -
Can I pre-order upgraded wines to try?
Of course, we have our Luxe wines and also the Specials wine menu which has a range of classic, seasonal & sustainable wines for you to choose from. You will need to let us know in advance which wines you'd like to try and we'll ensure they are available for you to try with your meal. There may be a charge incurred subject to your requirements. -
What are the timings of the evening?
Guests can arrive & check in to their room (where applicable) from 5pm - the bar will be open. Welcome drinks are served from 6pm to 6.45pm. Food service begins at 7pm. -
Can we stay the night?
Yes, our main house rooms are available so you can relax after an evening of fine dining. Rooms are priced at a discounted rate of ÂŁ125 for a standard room and ÂŁ150 for a premium room for double occupancy and includes a delicious full English Breakfast the following morning. -
Is there a dress code?
There isn’t a dress code per se, but we suggest you might want to dress smart casual. -
I have dietary requirements; can these be catered for?
