The plot…
The year is 1539, and the quiet and calm of Coombe Abbey is about to be shattered forever. The Abbot and his Provost have thrown open the doors of the Abbey and have invited the local peasants to come for a meal – ‘A feast fit for a king!’ Enter the King’s Commissioners – and before the horrified eyes of the peasants they ransack the Abbey of it’s treasures and banish the Monks.

– A four-course feast
– Arrival drink of mead cocktail
– Beakers of wine and ale with the feast
– A full stage show

Host & Everything Else
Yes the medieval banquet was amazing. Really good fun . Great food and drink and a fab party atmosphere .
Lovely evening in a beautiful place. Very atmospheric and good value for money. Food was very tasty and probably in keeping with how it would have been then. It was served promptly and everyone was served together.
Great night, of excellent entertainment and food. with everyone dressed in their costumes.
It was well organised and friendly with good car parking facilities, always welcome on a dark night when arriving alone.
