The Oakley Court is a stunning venue for a private dinner or celebration for anything up to 180 people within the hotel, or more within a marquee in the walled garden and grounds.
Our Executive Head Chef, Darren Kimber has wasted no time in exerting his influence on the new menus in the award-winning dining Room (previously named The Oakleaf Restaurant). His modern European style with French influences utilises the finest local ingredients on offer to produce a gastronomic experience that is both memorable and delightful.
Flexible dining options offer a range of styles, from an informal hot or cold buffet, a fine dining celebration dinner of a full scale gala dinner. Throughout the hotel, special historic features such as our ornamental ceilings, wood-panelled floors and sash windows, and of course the backdrop of manicured lawns and the meandering river create a stunning dining setting. Take some time out and enjoy our lounge menu and afternoon teas, or perhaps a beverage from the wide selection available in the stylish and comfortable bar.
Dining at The Oakley Court is a memorable affair. Take your
fancy from the all day dining menu served in the elegant splendour of the main mansion, or perhaps an al fresco lunch on
the banks of the River Thames? The perfect spot for a celebration dinner with friends or an intimate gourmet experience in The Dining Room, the choice is yours.
