We are so thrilled to announce that….

We are now a recommended caterer for couples getting married at the positively charming, timeless Grade II, exclusive use Solton Manor that has stood at East Langdon, Kent for hundreds of years.  It’s stunning!

Only 20 minutes’ drive from Canterbury, on the coastal road between Deal and Dover, this romantic, historic redbrick Manor house is surrounded by ten acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, which include wildlife ponds, stone ruins, woodland and paddocks, perfect for your gorgeous wedding photos.

This timber, oak-framed building, one of Kent’s most beautiful country houses, makes the perfect, unique place for you to say, ‘we do’.  The first floor boasts exposed stud walling and beautiful Tudor oak-plank doors. What is unusual for a house of this period is the exceptionally high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms, which include three fine reception rooms – notably the splendid drawing room with its original Tudor fireplace.
