6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
We’ve reserved the Drawing Room in The Manor House as a dining option. We’ll be there from 6pm, please pop by if you’d like to join. Last food orders at 8:30pm & orders will be charged to your room. You can find a sample menu here: https://www.exclusive.co.uk/media/24130/casual-dining-menu-2023.pdf If you're feeling like you'd rather have dinner on your own, we won't be offended. :) Here are the other dining options in Castle Combe: - The Castle Inn Pub. We will have dinner here on Saturday, but not from the regular dining menu. Last time we went, they had GF fish & chips! - The 1 Michelin star Bybrook, located at The Manor House. You will need to book in advance. - The White Hart, which is another pub in town. Very mixed reviews on Google.
12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
For those attending: - Clay Pigeon transportation will depart from The Manor House at 12:15pm and return at 3:30pm. We are unclear on if there is food available at the Pigeon site so please plan accordingly. - Afternoon tea starts at 1:30pm in the Drawing Room. This is also a great day to see some nearby historical sites, explore one of The Manor House's walking routes (wellies available in the lobby), play a game of golf at The Manor House's golf club, or head to the spa at nearby Lucknam Park.
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Attire: please wear whatever you'd like. Rachel will likely be wearing a casual dress and Henry is considering wearing a suit since he has very few occasions to do so. :)
Henry’s parents David & Irene will be hosting dinner for us at the pub in town. Drinks from 6pm. Dinner will be served at 7pm. Mini pub quiz to follow.
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Cocktail Attire: Wear cocktail dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and dark jackets and slacks.
Please arrive by 1:10pm to take your seat. The ceremony will start promptly at 1:30pm. We hope to have the ceremony outside, weather dependent. Please bring a coat, and maybe leave the stilettos at home - there will be grass to walk on to get to the ceremony location.
2:00 pm - 10:00 pm
2-3:30pm: We will have drinks and canapes right after the ceremony. 3:30-6pm: The Wedding Breakfast aka a big meal! We will be having 4 courses, followed by cake. 6-7pm: We'll take a quick break while the Manor House clears the reception room. Go for a walk, lie down for a quick nap or hang out in the library which is reserved for us. 7pm onwards: We'll head back into the reception room to continue our celebration. Our tab will be open at the bar, and we'll have cheese boards served at 8pm. We can continue to hang out at the Manor House until we get sleepy, or head to the pub in town for a night cap.
9:30 am - 10:00 am
We will have a special section in Bybrook (the restaurant at The Manor House) from 9:30 where we can have breakfast as a group - if you'd like to attend. Feel free to pop down from 9:30-10am (note that last orders are at 10am). Guests staying at The Castle Inn can also attend.
