We’re offering three private dining menus this December.
Choose to eat in the intimate Card Room for smaller gatherings, the Billiard Room looking out across the grounds, the Dining Room for bigger celebrations, or the whole house and Grand Pavilion for when you’re really making a day of it.

And whichever way you celebrate, every booking comes with a dedicated host, someone on hand to make sure everything is taken care of, from your first glass of bubbles to the last mince pie.

Tucked away inside The Beacon, The Card Room is made for smaller Christmas gatherings. A private space to bring your favourite people together around one table, with good food, great w**e and the warmth of the house all to yourselves.

Perfect for Christmas parties with friends, family or smaller teams, settle in for Norfolk Bronze Turkey with all the trimmings, seasonal dishes and indulgent puddings.

And when the last bottle is opened, there’s no need to call it a night.

Stay with us in one of six beautiful bedrooms in the main house, or in our Summer House or Holly Hut (our shepherd’s hut), hidden away in the grounds.

No taxis or designated drivers needed, just another drink by the fire, bed waiting nearby and a lovely place to wake up for breakfast the next morning.

Our festive menus start from £29.50 per person:

Mid-Week Menu | £29.50pp
Monday to Thursday

Christmas Feast | £50pp
Monday to Sunday

Private Dining | £65pp
Monday to Saturday

Every booking comes with a dedicated host, so all that’s left for you to do is gather your people and enjoy it.

Come for a Christmas celebration. Stay the night. ✨
