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.

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.

Venue Testimonials
Port Lympne Mansion is a beautiful venue and all our guests were amazed at how lovely it really was. They have a great wedding package which includes all the essentials which made planning our wedding so much easier. We couldn't fault the service, staff or venue at all. Especially Bronwyn who was always on hand to help with my many questions! She ensured our day ran smoothly and looked exactly how I dreamed it would. We are so pleased we picked Port Lympne for our wedding and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a picturesque beautiful venue with amazing service.
