Traditional Menu

WEDDING and DINNER MENUS 2018 – 2019

We carefully source our fresh ingredients from known local producers and so will be able to let you know exactly where your meat is farmed, whether it be lamb from the Trevelyns’ farm on the North York Moors or venison farmed in the Vale of York by Catherine Priestley.
Menus cards can be created for your guests showing the provenance of your food, which makes great table talk and reassurance that you are eating the best and supporting small local farmers
and producers.
All of our dishes are home-made by us. Whether you want haute cuisine, traditional Yorkshire, or specialist menus such as Viking, Medieval, or Georgian, we’ll delight you with our creativity and
fine a venue to suit too if you wish.
Here is a selection of dishes you might like to choose from to compose your own menu. Please choose one starter, one main course and one pudding. If you would like your guests to have a
choice at each course, there will be an additional charge.
We have also put together some sample menus for you to have a look at, these give you an idea of the pricing structure. If you have a specific dish or menu in mind then we would be more than
happy to create it.
Special dietary requirements are happily catered for but we do require notice.
All prices given, include table linen and linen napkins, all crockery and cutlery and food service staff.
Please note we are not VAT registered so there is no VAT on top pf these prices.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate in contacting us.
