From farm-fresh vegetables to seasonal fruits and locally sourced meats, your wedding breakfast will be a true taste of Suffolk.
In the summer, why not serve Eton Mess with fresh, locally picked fruits from the surrounding orchards? In the autumn, opt for succulent Suffolk pork loin with an Aspall Cider jus? Whatever the season, you can be sure your menu will be filled with the flavours of the region, crafted with love by the manor’s talented chefs.

For a relaxed countryside feel, you could scatter hay bales around the garden for guests to sit on, with cosy throws for added comfort. Lanterns and festoon lighting through the trees can create a magical, intimate atmosphere as day turns to night. Or, if you’re going for a more polished look, think monochrome colour pallets, floral arches, and romantic lighting to elevate the beauty of the manor.
