Tips & Advice
- Book well in advance, especially for weekend party nights, as availability is limited and popular dates fill up quickly.
- When using Sat Nav, enter 'Burgate, Canterbury' instead of the postcode to ensure accurate directions to the lodge entrance.
- Confirm dietary requirements and menu choices with the events team at least six weeks before your event to ensure they can be accommodated.
- Consider the 'Christmas Dinner' option for smaller groups (up to 50 guests) seeking a more intimate festive meal in the Refectory Restaurant.
- Inquire about minimum commitment requirements for private events, as a small room hire fee may apply for groups below the minimum number.
