Private Dining

Stephen Ashburn, our Banqueting Head Chef, won the prestigious “Banqueting Chef of the Year Award” at the 2008 Craft Guild of Chefs Awards. We were delighted that he was honoured with such an accolade which was closely followed by the “Conference and Banqueting Team of the Year Award” at the Hotel Cateys in November 2008.

Stephen and his team have created the following dishes for you to choose from when dining in one of our private banquet rooms. In order to offer more seasonality these menus will run from 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2011. Should your event be scheduled for after this date, please speak to your Event Co-ordinator who will be able to provide you with the relevant menu, once it becomes available. As far as possible all ingredients are locally sourced.

You have two options:
1) choose a set menu where each guest will be served the same starter, main course and pudding.
2) select a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 puddings with a menu pre-order being required no later than three days prior to your event.

Stephen and his team are happy to create a unique gourmet menu exclusively for your event. Should you wish to discuss this further please liaise with your Event Co-ordinator who will be able to organise a meeting for you to meet with Stephen. Some of the team’s favourite menus include themes such as:

• The Finest Seafood
  
• Yorkshire Game
  
• Black and White Truffles
  
• Tribute to Escoffier

Your Event Co-ordinator is happy to assist you with your wine choice. However should you wish us to create the ultimate wine pairing for your menu we can arrange for you to meet a member of the team to discuss this further.
