If you're based in Essex and looking for a special place to host a dinner or event, or perhaps just somewhere out of the ordinary to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, we think you'll love Leez Priory.
This stunning Tudor manor is set amidst 40 acres of parkland and proudly shows off historic architecture, a unique red-bricked facade and fascinating interior details that feel like going back in time. A well-loved wedding venue, it has 30 years of experience in planning events and a dedicated team and so, if you are planning on taking over the entire site as exclusive hire, you can be sure your vision will be realised.
But, if you'd rather just enjoy this stunning setting with a partner, friend, family or even colleagues, Leez Priory has a new addition to its events calendar which offers smaller bookings the opportunity to try out its high-quality menus, take a look around the grounds and even stay overnight.
The Dinner Date series offers a selection of evenings across the year which can be booked out by individuals, perhaps to celebrate a milestone, or to experience the venue before booking it for a wedding or corporate function. Starting in the early evening, you can take a walk through the gardens, have a look at the rooms inside the manor and generally have a nosey around. Then, it's time for a welcome drink and some nibbles, before being seated for your four-course meal.
Here, you'll enjoy a starter, palete-cleansing sorbet, main dish and dessert, topped off with petit fours and coffees or teas. Of course, you are welcome to order expertly-mixed cocktails or a bottle of wine with your meal, too. Then, embrace the opportunity to turn your dinner into a mini staycation and add on an overnight room, using the discounted rates especially designed for the event.
