For staff and clients coming by train, Stonegate station is about 4.5 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Bateman's (4.2 miles east).

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
