Menus • Readers' Weekend at Trevor Hall

Our menus were designed in collaboration with the caterers to recreate classic manor house dishes with a modern flair.

Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available; we’ll collect dietary preferences after your booking to pass along to the chefs.

A selection of non-alcoholic beverages and wine will be available throughout the day; evening meals are accompanied by wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks chosen to complement the menu.

The kitchen will also be stocked with salty snacks and assorted biscuits — plus coffee, tea, water, wine, and beer — so you can help yourself should you get peckish between activities or find yourself in need of a midnight snack.
