Fine Dining
Our magnificent 17th century Great Hall, seating 130, is the perfect setting for dinner during your conference while smaller dinners can be accommodated in the Small Hall (44).
We can also offer formal waiter-service dining in the new facilities of The Gillespie Centre for up to 90 guests.
Our Catering Manager and Head Chef will be delighted to work with you in planning the lunch or dinner menu for your delegates with fine wines carefully chosen from our cellar. Flowers, menu and seating cards will all be given careful thought to ensure they complement your meal appropriately and we will be happy to help in sourcing entertainment if required.
Residential delegates can eat in our less formal self-service Buttery which caters for 100.
And don't forget, in the summer months, you can host a drinks reception in our beautiful Scholars Garden overlooking the River Cam - sure to be the icing on the cake for a summer conference.
