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.

What an absolutely fantastic day

We wanted to write to say what an absolutely fantastic day we had on Saturday. All of the staff at GF were incredible but Hannah was everywhere and on every detail but always in a subtle and unobtrusive way. She is an absolute master at what she does and both her and Amit’s skills and your fantastic planning meant that we could relax and enjoy the day completely- which we absolutely did! We will definitely be back, hopefully soon, but until then will have such incredibly special memories
