Our exceptional in-house team curate exquisite menus for weddings and events, using the freshest of ingredients, sourced locally.
Our Head Chef, Craig Tomlin has spent his career climbing through the ranks of the kitchen staff hierarchy. He quickly learnt the importance of a clean and efficient kitchen, but most importantly the strength a great team has. In 2013, Craig took some time out of the kitchen to travel and explore new cuisines. Coming back to the UK he was inspired by some of the new flavours and ideas he had experienced first hand, which only diversified his food further. Fast forward a few years and we are thrilled to have Craig at the pinnacle of our team where he is an integral part of the ongoing success of weddings and events at Apton Hall. We simply adore great food, which can tell so many stories. Let your wedding breakfast tell yours...Accommodation
Our beautiful Dovecot is the perfect place to finish off your mornings preparations ready for your ceremony. With room for your closest wedding party to share the excitement with you as your guests arrive, it’s one of our most adored courtyard buildings at the venue. Not only do you start your day here, but you finish the day as Newlyweds in the luxurious bedroom, that’s just a stones throw from the dance floor at the end of the night. This discrete and spectacular space was specifically designed to enhance the magnificent features of exposed oak beams and vaulted ceiling over the bedroom. The room, featuring a super king bed with bespoke embroidered cushions, chaise longue at the foot of the bed and adjacent roll-top bath, offers the ultimate romantic night away. The biggest and most beautiful suite on site, is spread across two floors boasting a separate cosy sitting room and large bathroom with walk-in shower.
Apton Hall features seven luxurious guest rooms in different contemporary styles, each designed to create a place to relax and unwind.
