An intimate celebration of life - February 2024
We were honoured to host the wake after a local funeral for a well loved member of the community. The family chose to have substantial canapés made by our in-house chef and a glass of champagne to toast to happy memories. The selection of canapés were carefully chosen to include favourites of the departed. They included mini Yorkshire puddings with rare roast beef and horseradish, soft boiled quails eggs with celery salt and mini lemon meringue tarts, to name a few.

A winter wedding - December 2023
After their Pakistani ceremony, our lovely couple legally tied the knot here on a chilly day in December. The house was full of festive decorations, Christmas tree from the plantation on the lawn included. Four gables created a beautiful, bespoke menu for them and Tigers to Lilies adorned the fireplace in the drawing room.

An intimate micro wedding - december 2023
This couple gathered 14 of their closest family and friends to celebrate their love. With small numbers, they really made use of our drawing room. They got married in front of the marble fireplace and toasted to their union with a glass of champagne. They then had a cosy and simple dinner in the dining room, the day was filled with laughter and joy.
