If you’re searching for a venue that blends historic charm with fine dining, Paris House in Woburn, Bedfordshire, is a standout choice. Set within the picturesque Woburn Estate Deer Park, this striking Tudor-style manor house has an extraordinary history, having been built for the Rue des Nations in Paris in 1878, before being transported to England by the 9th Duke of Bedford.
Today, it serves as a refined setting for a wide range of events, from milestone celebrations and corporate dinners to intimate weddings and product launches. The venue offers versatile hire options to suit different group sizes and occasions. For smaller gatherings, the private dining room seats between 10 and 14 guests in an elegant space with leaded windows, chandelier lighting, dark grey walls, and plush green velvet seating. Larger events can hire the entire restaurant exclusively, accommodating up to 34 guests comfortably for lunch, dinner or all-day hire.
Paris House is led by executive chef Phil Fanning, whose inventive menus showcase seasonal British produce through tasting menus, multi-course dining, or gourmet afternoon tea. The culinary offering is matched by attentive, personalised service, ensuring every event runs seamlessly. For an added touch of magic, the venue can arrange a horse-drawn carriage ride through the estate in partnership with Westways Carriage Horses. This hour-long tour includes a champagne stop at the scenic Chambers Bridge before returning to the restaurant for your chosen menu.
Surrounded by tranquil parkland yet within easy reach of London and the Midlands, Paris House combines accessibility with a setting that feels worlds away. Whether for a corporate event, family celebration, or private party, it offers a unique blend of history, elegance, and outstanding food that will impress your guests.
