Food & Drink With an Anglo-French twist, Knoll House can deliciously cater for you and your guests throughout your wedding celebration. Our highly skilled chefs will create freshly cooked dishes that are full of flavour and beautifully presented.

A warm welcome awaits your guests at Knoll House. Gather together whilst we serve champagne and canapés to set the scene for the day. Or perhaps you might opt for refreshing glasses of Pimm’s and lemonade on the lawn whilst you admire the sea views. In contrast, we recommend an invigorating glass of warm mulled wine by the fire, should you be thinking of a winter wedding date.

For an informal feel, consider serving our renowned Afternoon Tea to your guests. It can go terribly well with a glass of champagne – and why not – it’s a special occasion after all.

Our carefully developed menus give you much choice to consider for your wedding breakfast. We’re very happy to discuss additional courses with you, should you wish to include a fish course, cheese course or palate cleansing

sorbet. And if your desire is an entirely bespoke menu, our Head Chef can meet with you and develop an incredible wedding breakfast that is entirely to your taste.

Should you exclusively hire Knoll House or the Garden Room, we’ll arrange for you and your partner to attend a complimentary menu tasting, enabling you to sample all of the dishes on the menu prior to making your final decision.

Our attention to detail continues into the evening and we have many appetising options available to you, including finger buffets, hot fork buffets, barbecues and hog roasts.
