The Halls are a wonderful place to treat your employees and supporters, or to impress your guests, in truly atmospheric surroundings. Banqueting events have been held here for over 500 years and today The Halls can cater for lunch and dinner parties for between 20 to 600 guests.

The three dining environments available at The Halls each have their own unique character and atmosphere. Each space can be set up with comfortable banqueting furniture for your guests’ convenience. Our resident chef heads up the specialist catering team and can create bespoke meals that will delight your guests. Our catering team is happy to provide menus to suit all tastes and dietary requirements and can cater for anything from a canapé reception to full silver service banqueting.

If you have already selected a caterer and need to find a venue for your event then we can also accommodate you by including the kitchen as part of your hire.
