From an intimate private dinner in the Ballroom to an al fresco reception overlooking the estate's picturesque parkland, dining at Hotham Hall is an experience in its own right. Our own kitchen and bar team looks after every occasion.
Dining at Hotham Hall
Food and drink at the heart of everything
At Hotham Hall, food and drink are never incidental. Everything is cooked and served by our own team, who plan each menu around the season and the people at the table. From gastro-style menus and relaxed private lunches to fine dining occasions of the highest order, every dish is crafted from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and served with real warmth.
Book a private dinner and the evening is planned around you, or join one of our seasonal dining events and share the table with other guests.

Settings That Enhance the Experience
Dining at Hotham Hall is inseparable from the setting. The King Edward Ballroom, the Drawing Room, Colonel Jack's Bar, and The Carriage House event spaces each bring their own distinct character to a private dinner or dining event. We also host dinners out in the estate's woodland, which are best seen in person.
