Description

Eartham House is situated to the southern end of the hamlet of Eartham. The first reference to the establishment of a residence at Eartham was in 1743 when Thomas Hayley purchased a small estate from the heirs of Sir Robert Fag in order to build a house for his summer retirement. After his death in 1775, the house was occupied by his son William Hayley who was a poet. The House, which has been the home of Great Ballard School for the last forty years, is a magnificent country house set in 30 acres of glorious countryside. There are extensive views to the south coast and Chichester. The house still has many Regency features, but was extensively enlarged and remodelled by the famous architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, at the beginning of the twentieth century. Up to 100 guests can be seated in the Dining Room and adjoining conservatory. One of the rooms accommodates a dance floor. Canapes can be served in the adjoining conservatory. This venue offers a special day set against a romantic Regency backdrop.

Over 18 years, I have successfully catered for hundreds of weddings. These have been at The Great Barn at Dorset House (also known as Bury Manor Barn), Eartham House and many private receptions in people's gardens in West Sussex and Hampshire.

Beautiful venue, wonderful food

Hi Susan We had such an amazing day, thank you so much. I’m happy for you to share any of my comments in the email by the way. But it was an absolutely lovely day and I think Eartham House is a rare find, so many of our guests commented on how lovely the building was and while we were setting up Mark and the lady on reception were just so helpful and kind. The food was great too and your staff were wonderful on the day, they were super friendly and both my sister and I found the young man with short brown hair (sorry I didn’t catch his name) to be particularly helpful, he was great 👍🏼 Beautiful venue, wonderful food and the staff just made the whole day perfect and it’s been a pleasure to work with you, you accommodated every idea we had and helped us to organise just the most wonderful day so thank you. Thanks so much Victoria

Gorgeous chocolate mousse

Hi Susan, I just wanted to say thank you very much for the lovely food we had on Saturday at the Verrall / Dalgleish wedding and for the efforts you went to to ensure my partner had an equally delicious meal catered to his allergies. He was very pleased - and I had a taste of his chocolate mousse dessert and it was gorgeous! Thanks again for catering for him so nicely. Kind regards,
