What people say

“What a stunning venue”

“Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the whole occasion and so many remarked what a stunning venue Chiddingstone Castle was and how much it added to their enjoyment of the day.  Everything was managed perfectly and all went smoothly and it made it easy for the committee to enjoy the event as much as the members did, with not having to worry about anything. It was also lovely for everyone to be able to enjoy wandering around the castle and grounds after the lunch and made it feel even more of a special day out. We were delighted with Urban Pantry’s catering as well, so all in all, we couldn’t have asked for a lovelier occasion.”

Business Lunch

“Made the planning so effortless”

“My party was so, so memorable - I have had so many compliments since - and you made the planning so effortless for me but also so much fun! That was something I had not expected! So thank you… you are wonderful and gave me a birthday I shall never forget.”

Birthday Lunch

“We will be returning shortly”

“A big thank you for making such a great wonderful evening for us all. We have had lovely emails and letters this week praising the venue, and especially the interesting tour. I know a number of us will be returning shortly to spend more time in the castle and grounds. The flowers were perfect and we were able to use them again for our garden party.“

70th Birthday Celebration

“Most delicious coffee cake”

“Thanks for fitting us in at such short notice last week. It was great to get away from the office and to be able to focus on the meeting without the usual interruptions. It was a refreshing change for the whole team and we all felt that much ground was covered. The only distractions were the spectacular views from the windows and the delicious lunch… that coffee cake was to die for.”
