THE FOOD
Would you like delcious food at your wedding or celebration? This is our thing. Whether it’s served on platters, or a zany BBQ with sides for that festival feel, or an elegant silver service that will impress Aunty Gladys, it will have quality & cracking good flavours.
OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY
The focus of our food is always on getting the best flavour in every dish. Sue & Dave have always cooked the family meals from scratch and they’ve long been interested in new flavours and new dishes from Indian, Italian, French, Middle Eastern and Central & South American cuisines.
The family meal in the evening has always been an important part of our day – we sit down nearly every evening with candles lit and a glass of delicious wine to catch up on the day’s events.
We make most of our dishes from scratch in-house, including all our bread, desserts and pastry from, using fresh ingredients. Many of the dishes we cook for our guests are old family favourites that have been passed down from family and friends. Trips abroad to France, Spain, Italy, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Peru and Mexico have inspired new dishes to add to the old favourites.
YOUR DINING EXPERIENCE
For your wedding day, we provide a delicious range of house-made canapés to whet the appetite followed by a 3-course banquet served either in the Castle for small parties or in the Great Barn for larger ones. After you and your guests have danced up an appetite we offer delicious late night snacks of gorgeous cheeses with crackers and crispy rolls as well as the all-important cocktails sausages!
Breakfast for you and your guests can be provided the next day, either the full fry-up or a tasty continental option.
We are also delighted to do next day barbecues with yummy burgers, sausages and delicious fresh salads and breads for those who want to keep the party going.
For birthdays, anniversaries and hen parties, we have 3 options for dinner in the Castle. A sumptuous 3-course dinner served to you and your guests in the candle-lit dining room with our delicious French wines and an optional cheese-course. For those who want a more relaxed vibe, we have two 2-course buffet options; either self-serve or served and cleared. You are also welcome to self-cater if you so wish
