Children are very welcome. We have our own children's menu which can be viewed here.

We are happy to cater for individual dietary needs wherever possible. Please inform us at the point of booking so our team can prepare.

Please note, we are unable to cater for vegans with afternoon teas but we are happy to offer something from our lunchtime menu which is vegan friendly.

Please notify us of any dinner cancellations at least 24 hours prior.

From April onwards, we will provide outdoor dining in specified outdoor areas. We are able to reserve outdoor tables but are unable to reserve an indoor table along with this booking should the weather be unpredictable.

Yes - we have plenty of free parking on site.

Our dining areas are all situated on the ground floor. We have one step on entering and we have a ramp that is available on request. Our bedrooms are all based on the first floor, and although we do not have a lift, our steps are shallow. We have a downstairs toilet that is big enough for a wheelchair with a hand pull.

We do have a room suitable for families which can be made into a twin-bed room. Two rooms are also available with pull-out children's beds if requested. Pull-out beds are charged at £20 per bed. We have no adjoining rooms, however, as a small boutique hotel, our rooms are situated close to each other.

We are not set-up to successfully have external caterers and as such invest in our in house catering experience. We want to make sure that the quality of your food is perfect so our team of highly skilled chefs create everything in house, you will be invited along to a wedding tasting to help you select your menu

We kindly ask that no external alcohol is brought on to the premises here at Downham Hall. We are able to offer customisable drinks packages to suit all tastes and budgets and are more than happy to discuss your options during the planning process.

Yes. Although we also operate as a boutique hotel, all weddings are booked on an exclusive-use basis. Therefore, we require all 5 rooms to be booked by the wedding party on the night of your wedding. Accommodation may be paid for by the wedding couple in addition to their wedding package, or rooms can be allocated to wedding guests and they can make their own payments directly.

Last orders at the bar must be taken by 11.30pm. Music must then finish by 11.45pm.

Here at Downham Hall, we do request that you opt for our DJ service that is included in the venue hire package for weddings and also ask that chair sashes and aisle carpets are booked either through us or directly with our preferred supplier to ensure the best quality and a seamless service.

For all other services, you are welcome to use your own suppliers, however, we do have a recommended suppliers list that provides you with trusted companies that know the venue well.

In order to give you the best possible service and ensure that your wedding day runs perfectly, our staff will be focusing on behind the scenes, so will not be able to arrange any venue decoration for you. We would advise that you always use a supplier for this so you have fewer things to arrange. However, if this is not possible, we would recommend that your wedding party help with this.

We do not allow fireworks at Downham Hall out of consideration to our neighbours and nearby livestock.

You are welcome to invite people to join you for breakfast the next morning. All we ask is that we are made aware in advance so we know how many people you would need us to cater for. The cost of breakfast would then need to be covered by either yourselves or the returning guests.

You are very welcome to view the venue. For weddings, we kindly ask you to make an appointment to allow a member of our team enough time to show you around and explain the venue to you.

For other events, we recommend booking to guarantee that a member of the team can show you around. However, you are welcome to visit and look around yourself. Please note, on wedding days, some of our rooms may not be available to view.
