Venue — Stradsett Hall
Wedding catering at Stradsett Hall.
An Elizabethan hall, a rose garden and room to make the day your own. Our family-run team brings thoughtful menus and warm, attentive service to weddings in this beautiful corner of west Norfolk.
Stradsett Hall sits in the Norfolk countryside near Downham Market, within easy reach of King's Lynn and our base in South Wootton. Its historic house, formal gardens and parkland offer a setting that can feel wonderfully intimate or open out into a larger celebration.
There is more than one way to celebrate here. The Rose Garden is licensed for outdoor ceremonies, the Old Stables offer a rustic reception setting, and the Hall and Orangery suit smaller gatherings. A marquee in the grounds gives you another way to shape the day. Choose your space with the venue, then we can build the food and service around it.
We are a family-run catering team, established in 2008. Ryan is your contact from the first conversation, helping you choose between a plated wedding breakfast, generous sharing platters or a relaxed feast, with canapés to begin and something delicious for the evening guests.
The practical arrangements matter just as much as the menu. Before quoting, we confirm the catering space, access, power, water and refrigeration requirements with you and the venue. Any additional kitchen equipment or refrigerated trailer required for your chosen space is set out clearly in the proposal. Drinks and bar arrangements are agreed separately with the venue, so responsibilities and timings are clear from the start.
Your Stradsett Hall wedding
Beautiful food, from the first bite.
Canapés in the gardens
Little bites while the photographs happen and everyone settles into the celebration. Tomato and basil crostini, chicken satay skewers or tempura prawns with sweet chilli dip — a selection chosen around your tastes and served by our team.
A wedding breakfast to remember
Two or three plated courses for a more formal meal, or sharing platters that bring the table together. We shape the menu around the season, your favourite flavours and the way you want the room to feel, including vegetarian options and guests' dietary requirements.
Something sweet
Dessert deserves its own moment. Apple pavlovas, a beautifully presented plated dessert or something to share — we will help you find a finish that feels right for your menu, rather than an afterthought.
Evening food, properly done
Hog roast rolls, fully loaded fries, mac and cheese or mini fish and chip cones. Food that feels relaxed and generous, served at a time that works with your speeches, music and evening arrivals.
Ryan and his team provided us with a fantastic 3 course dinner on our wedding day. The cheesecake was to die for. The whole team made it look so effortless and the service ran smoothly. We just loved the food and so did our guests.
