Our chefs use the finest seasonal ingredients to craft the Notley Abbey menu, striking the perfect balance between elegance and ease for a meal where conversation flows as freely as the wine.

We champion local sourcing wherever possible, working alongside producers throughout the British Isles who share our commitment to exceptional British cuisine. Every dish is crafted with attention to detail, served in generous portions, and beautifully presented. Memorable celebrations call for food that’s equally unforgettable.

Select each course from our extensive menu, or allow us to create something entirely bespoke for your occasion. Our canapé collection is perfect for socialising – the mini Wagyu burgers remain a particular favourite – whilst our mains span from tender, melt-in-the-mouth beef and expertly prepared fish to innovative, satisfying plant-based creations. Whatever your choice, anticipate a delightful marriage of flavour and refinement.

As the evening unfolds, why not treat your guests to late-night bites like warm bacon butties, a hog roast on the patio, or perhaps a cheese wagon? Whether you choose our Super Slow Roast Pulled Pork with baps and apple sauce, or opt for something more bespoke, our dedicated Wedding Planning Team is here to make it happen.

Our drinks offering is designed to elevate your celebration from the very first toast. Included in your package is a refreshing start with bottomless Pimm’s and Prosecco during the drinks reception, followed by half a bottle of carefully selected house wine per guest during the meal, alongside unlimited mineral water to keep everyone refreshed. A glass of Prosecco is also served for the all-important speeches. For those looking to extend the festivities, we offer a curated wine list featuring boutique selections and a show-stopping cocktail menu – perfect for a post-dinner cocktail hour complete with dazzling cocktail towers or an unforgettable Champagne spray moment.

Before your wedding day, we’ll invite you to dinner at Notley Abbey to taste your way through potential menu options. It’s an evening to relax, try different dishes, and work out what feels right for your celebration.

You’ll arrive to canapés and drinks ready to pour. Tables are set with crisp linens, fresh flowers and ambient lighting, a glimpse into how your wedding day might look and feel. At a table for two, you’ll work your way through a tasting menu designed to make choosing your final selection deliciously simple. Our sommelier can suggest wine pairings for each course, and you might find our cocktail tower makes for an enjoyable end to the evening.
