Caters for weddings and events

Imagine your wedding in a wonderful old castle where once Earls of Oxford entertained King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The ceremony takes place by candlelight in the magnificent Banqueting Hall where 100 guests may be seated. You can have a modern ceremony or choose the mediaeval theme with authentic costumes and strolling minstrels. The beautiful grounds offer ideal opportunities for photographs.
