Food and Drink
As well as offering stunning surroundings for the perfect atmosphere, treating your guests to delicious food and drink is one of our top priorities.
Our chefs can cater for your entire event, everything from breakfast on the morning of the wedding, a delicious three course wedding breakfast, evening buffet and beyond to your post function breakfast the following morning. Our famous hog roast is a popular choice for our guests, as is our delicious mini fish and chips, but we can also offer alternative and vegan options on request. Where possible, we source sustainable and local produce. We pride ourselves in all our homemade dishes, including bread made freshly each morning.
We understand that deciding on your final menu can be a difficult choice to make. We know you’ll want to make sure everything is perfect on the day, so we offer you the chance to experience the quality and presentation of our cuisine beforehand with our food tasting experiences.

Thank you Crondon Park! We couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment guests started arriving we had people coming up to us telling us what a beautiful venue we’d chosen and everyone raved about how tasty the food was, most notably the duck. We’d like to thank Tracey, in particular, and everyone who assisted at Crondon Park for all of your hard work. It was a long day for you all, but we couldn’t fault your professionalism nor would we change a single detail! If we could, we’d return in a heartbeat to relive it all over again. Lots of post-wedding love, Sam and Becky xxx
