Wedding Food

After you’ve said ‘I do’, it’s time to indulge in your first meal together as a married couple. And, it’s our job to make sure it truly is one to remember. 

Your Wedding Food

One of the stand-out memories of your wedding day is the food. When holding your wedding at Knowsley Hall you will enjoy a selection of canapés served during the drink’s reception, followed by a three-course wedding breakfast, wine selection and evening food.

Canapes & Welcome Drinks

After the ceremony, your wedding party can enjoy a selection of canapés and drinks whilst you both sneak off for some wedding photographs around the stunning manicured grounds. Choose three-delicious canapes for guests to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of fizz to raise a toast.

The Wedding Breakfast

Served in the grandeur of our State Dining Room, your wedding breakfast will take place over the course of around two and a half hours while your guests indulge in a delicious feast and speeches take place. 

Create a bespoke menu of three magnificent courses, made with locally sourced ingredients from the Knowsley Estate where possible and tailored to suit any dietary requirements. We don’t forget about the little people! Children can enjoy a two-course menu and a soft drink. .

Crafting Your Menu

As part of the exclusive venue hire, we invite you to a private wedding breakfast tasting 8 weeks prior to your wedding.

During the tasting, you have the opportunity to select and sample two starters, mains, and desserts. Your chef will present and guide you through each dish. We have a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options within our menus and our chefs can cater for specific dietary requirements. 

You can talk through menu options at any time, upon request.
