Eat

Our chefs understand the importance of great food, preparation and presentation. It’s our philosophy that the food should be of restaurant quality, despite catering for large parties. New menus are put together annually including a choice of two starters, mains and desserts. Couples can also arrange their own menu and chefs are happy to discuss menu options and arrange tastings. From formal wedding breakfasts to buffets, hog roasts and barbecues – the team are delighted to offer advice and arrange the perfect food for their special day.

Something Different

Couples and their wedding guests can enjoy a VIP safari to the South American, African and Asian experience. We also have a variety of animal experiences which can also be arranged, from meeting the tigers to feeding giraffes or black rhinos.
