At Prestwold Hall we understand just how important your wedding food is. It’s at the heart of any celebration and we want you and your guests to rave about your wedding menu for a long time.
Under Head Chef Marc Billings, our talented team of chefs work hard to create the most memorable wedding menus. Using only the best, in-season and locally sourced ingredients – many from the Prestwold estate – you can relax knowing your wedding food is in very safe hands. From creative canapés to elegant three-course meals, we guarantee our food will set the tone for the most stylish of celebrations.
Start the morning in style
If you’re getting ready at Prestwold, we can serve up a tasty brunch before guests arrive. Whether you prefer a light continental-style spread or a bacon bap, we will make sure you don’t go hungry.
Creative canapés to set the tone
After you’ve said your ‘I do’s it’s time to kick off the celebrations. At Prestwold Hall we invite you and your guests to relax with a stylish drinks reception in our spectacular stately home or idyllic gardens. Served alongside a glass of champagne, we offer a fabulous choice of canapés to give a taste of the delicious wedding breakfast to follow. Our chefs have come up with seasonal canapés perfectly fitting for the time of year. Think broad bean, feta and wild garlic crostinis for spring/summer, and cocktail sausage toad in the hole for autumn/winter. We also offer tasty Asian-inspired canapés (the Korean friend king prawn and sesame tempura is off the scale good) or contemporary bites like Manchego croquetas with quince purée.
Welcome to the main event
Prestwold Hall’s Dining Room, complete with grand chandeliers and ornate period décor, is a stylish setting for your wedding breakfast. We offer various menu packages to suit your foodie preferences, wedding budget and season. Alongside this you’re welcome to add an amuse-bouche, sorbet course or a cheese plate and biscuits to your meal. Of course, at Prestwold we understand the importance of getting your wedding menu just right. That’s why we offer plenty of flexibility to make the meal your own – you’re very welcome to mix and match to create your perfect menu. Alternatively, our Head Chef Marc Billings and his team would be more than happy to work with you to create a totally bespoke menu for your big day.
Food for the party
Your evening guests deserve the same foodie experience as your daytime guests, and we’re proud of our creative and exciting evening menu which always hits the right note. Choose from things like a delicious hog roast with all the trimmings, fresh Neapolitan sourdough wood-fired pizzas, street food favourites like halloumi fries with guacamole or buttermilk fried chicken with sriracha sauce, or an informal grazing buffet.

After hours munchies
If you’re keen to extend the party that little bit longer, we’d be delighted to serve up some late-night treats for you and your overnight guests, once the celebrations have come to an end. Treat those staying overnight at Prestwold Hall to a charcuterie or cheese board, topped off with a vintage port before bed.
Cheers to our drinks packages
No wedding is complete without some extra-special drinks to toast newly married life, and at Prestwold we can serve up anything from a vintage champagne to a world-class wine. We also have plenty of refreshing non-alcoholic options, like virgin mojitos, Nosecco or passionfruit punch. If gin is your thing, you’ll love our gin dressing bar – available at an additional cost – with a selection of citrus fruits, berries, herbs and syrups for you and your guests to turn bartender.
