Our experienced chefs and catering team can provide a range of dining options for your wedding day. Whether you have always dreamt of a huge seated wedding breakfast or a relaxed buffet-style meal our team will wow you and your guests with a meal befitting of such a special day.
3 Course Served
Always a great option for events large and small, we offer a wide selection of options for served dinners across several of our venues. We can offer this for up to 600 guests (Summer Marquee). We can cater to all dietary requirements and taste preferences. We can also expand on this offering with Four and Five course dinners if required.
Buffet menus
An excellent option for more affordable and more flexible dining for your guests, we offer a plethora of options to suit all events. These menus are available in all on-site venues but work particularly well in the Sports Bar, Fairwood Brasserie and Summer Marquee, where we can offer this style of catering for up to 3000 guests (Summer Marquee).
Late night bites
Looking for a little extra to keep the evening going? We have plenty of options and can also work on bespoke menu items to offer later in the evening.
Canapés
We have a wonderful selection of canapes to suit all requirements, all made with fresh seasonal produce and sourced locally as much as possible, these are not your average canapes. Our chefs work tirelessly to ensure every last canape goes out perfectly, ready for your reception.
Dietary Requirements
We can easily accommodate all requirements, including Halal, Kosher and Vegan food and pride ourselves on offering all manner of global cuisine, including Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Thai, Turkish and many more. We are also always happy to work with clients on bespoke requests to suit their event and guest taste. Get in touch with our event team to discuss your requirements. We are also more than happy to organise pre-event tastings on request.
Endless possibilities

We offer fully-exclusive private hire and work with a number of local partners and suppliers to assist in every element of planning your big day!

High speed internet operates across the entire site to ensure you and your guests can celebrate your big day with others who can’t be there. Just a 15 minutes from Stansted, local accommodation is plentiful and we work with a number of coach services to make travel to and from the venue extremely straightforward if required.
We welcome
Multicultural Celebrations
We are excited to be able to work with couples and families from all cultures and backgrounds. We are able to accommodate specific cultural requirements, which add a unique and memorable touch to your celebrations. Our venue’s versatile spaces can be tailored to honour diverse traditions, ensuring a harmonious fusion of cultures. The picturesque racecourse provides a stunning backdrop for the union, and its experienced event staff collaborates closely to ensure that cultural elements are seamlessly integrated. This creates an enchanting and inclusive atmosphere, where love, tradition, and beauty converge in a joyous celebration.
From exquisite cuisine prepared according to specific dietary needs to ornate decor that reflects your culture, every detail can be thoughtfully curated. Our team of talented chefs can curate bespoke menus for your special day. However, should you have cultural requirements that we cannot cater to, we may allow licenced, external caterers onsite.
