About St Michael's Manor Hotel

Description

St Michael's Manor Hotel is an idyllic country house hotel set within a historic townhouse in St Albans, Hertfordshire with an ideal space for private dinners. The hotel is surrounded by five acres of private English country gardens and is even privy to its own lake. Here, guests of the hotel can enjoy the span of boutique bedrooms and whether you're visiting for the night or just an afternoon or evening, the in-house restaurant is a lovely place to catch up with friends or to celebrate a special occasion.

The restaurant itself is stunning; a glasshouse-style conservatory, it has huge windows which flood the room with natural light in the day, and on a summer's evening you can watch the sun go down between the trees. Parquet flooring and white tablecloths set the scene for a classic, timeless feel which works beautifully for private dining events - from wedding receptions to birthday parties.

St Michael's Manor Hotel's menu serves up seasonal British fare with a focus on ingredients sourced from across the UK. You can expect regularly changing menus which showcase the best of what's in season at the time, available as a la carte as well as menus for lunch, kids, Sundays and afternoon tea. The Sunday option will tend to stay the same, and comes as a two or three course menu that is modestly price and offers a selection of meats with all the trimmings. Opt for the slow cooked pork loin or go slightly off-piste with the grilled seabass, then follow with a hearty dessert or cheeseboard.

There's also a well-curated wine list supplying a variation of fine wines by the glass and bottle. From Champagne to Albarino, there’s plenty to choose from whether you’re looking to celebrate as a larger group or nurse a single glass over lunch.

Fantastic TeamNOVEMBER, 2024

I wanted to drop you a line to say a huge thank you for last Friday. We were thrilled with our Great Gatsby event, and the team at St Michael’s Manor were fantastic and very willing to step in and help where they could. It didn’t go unnoticed that Christina and Ussha stepped in to help serve our guests during the event – thank you so much. Big thanks to your Chef and team behind the scenes too. I don’t think we managed to say thank you directly to them, but the food was amazing and lots of guests commented on how impressed they were. With your support (and despite our Sum Up machines not working…) we managed to raise an incredible amount which will help support vulnerable families in our local community who are struggling. Huge thanks again to you all.
