Wedding Menu Selector

Our Chef produces interesting and imaginative dishes using fresh local ingredients wherever possible.

This selector is designed to be used by organisers for parties of at least 10 guests. The prices are based on having a set menu and we would always recommend this for a wedding or party. If you wish a choice menu we would recommend no more than 2 dishes per course. Where there is a choice the cost of the menu will be increased by £1.95 per choice.

We always offer a vegetarian option, special diet menus or an alternative dish if you know a guest will not enjoy your choice. There is no charge for this option and we must be notified in advance.

Remember that, if you have exclusive use, you have an allowance of £25.00 per person, per night towards the meal for up to 24 guests staying in the Castle.

We recommend that, for a 2-night stay, we serve an informal buffet meal on the first night. This is normally a two-course meal with a set starter, 2 hot main courses, a selection of salads and cold meats. The cost of this menu is covered in the exclusive use charge.  If you would like us to provide a dessert option for your guests on this night, we will be happy to arrange this however an extra charge will apply.

Our menu selector is listed over the next few pages however they can also be downloaded.
