A closer look
A place with character.
Horetown's White Room is licensed for ceremonies and holds up to 140, with table service and the 1692 Bar beside it, while the Garden Room takes up to 200. The house is Georgian with a kitchen garden and stables, and it feels lived in rather than staged.
There is no minimum number from Monday to Thursday, which is unusual and useful if your list is short. Prices are not published, so ask early.
