You booking at Great Fosters will allow exclusive access to our Tithe Barn, Orangery, Painted Hall Bar, Terrace and Magnolia Lawns. With its tall arched windows in the style of the eighteenth century, the Orangery is an elegant room with views over the Magnolia Lawn and gardens - perfect for any ceremony up to 160 guests Dating from 1390, The Tithe Barn was painstakingly dismantled from its original site in Surrey and re-built at Great Fosters in the 1930s. It provides a romantic setting for a wedding with its exposed vaulted English oak beams, open fire and Minstrels’ Gallery. This can sit wedding receptions up to 180 guests. Reception drinks are held in the adjacent Painted Hall or under our brand new stretch tent on the Terrace or Magnolia Lawns (exclusive to you and your guests), with the Painted Hall having its own bar. Following the wedding breakfast and speeches, coffee is served in the Painted Hall before the evening reception commences, either in the Tithe Barn or Orangery. The Queen Anne Suite is reserved for the Bride and Groom on their wedding night on a complimentary basis. A small complimentary changing room is also provided from midday. This is not suitable for the bridal party to get ready in on the morning of the wedding.

All our dishes are priced individually so you can create your perfect wedding menu. Food at Great Fosters is important to us whether we are catering for two or two hundred. We put the same emphasis on our wedding menus as we do for our restaurants. Our talented kitchen brigade take great pride in creating dishes that not only look fabulous but also exceed your expectations on the taste front too. Menus change regularly to reflect the seasonal produce available which guarantees the freshest and highest quality of ingredients are used in every dish. A menu tasting a few months prior to your wedding ensures you have exactly what you want for your big day. When selecting your menu we ask that you choose one set menu suitable for all your guests. We are, of course, happy to cater for any vegetarians or those with food intolerances or allergies separately. Please note that we do not permit external caterers at the hotel.

Great Fosters Full Description
Probably built as a Royal Hunting lodge and very much a stately home since the 16th century, Great Fosters is a Grade One listed building blessed with the grandeur of 16th century England and luxurious modern facilities. The romantic gardens provide the most idyllic backdrop for photographs with a rose garden with sunken lily pond, saxon moat with wisteria covered Japanese bridge, parterres, grassed amphitheatre and a lake. The hotel has 50 luxurious bedrooms and is licensed for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. The Tithe Barn, dating from 1390, accommodates up to 180 guests for a wedding breakfast whilst the Orangery, in the style of the eighteenth century, accommodates up to 80 guests. Food at Great Fosters is important to us whether we are catering for two or two hundred. We put the same emphasis on our wedding menus as we do for our restaurants and our talented kitchen brigade take great pride in creating dishes that not only look fabulous but also exceed your expectations on the taste front too. From your initial enquiry our experienced wedding co-ordinators will work with you to create the memorable day you have always imagined.
