Celebrations

We are not currently accepting bookings for 2027 as there are potentially refurbishment plans and we would not be willing to disappoint anyone by cancelling their planned event at short notice.

Baby & Bridal

Baby & Bridal

There’s nothing more exciting than an upcoming wedding or a new addition to the family, so celebrate your bridal shower or baby shower at the Butler’s Retreat.

We’ve taken our crowd-pleasing Afternoon Tea and Finger Buffet options to create a relaxed, stress-free catering style, just add bubbles if desired. Our semi-private Forest View room has proved to be an incredibly popular venue for baby showers and bridal parties, seating up to 34 guests, full details here.

If this sounds like just the ticket, get in touch via our quick enquiry form.

Interested in hosting your Christmas party in the rural charm of our Essex Barn in Epping Forest? We can deliver a superb three or four course menu or something bespoke.

Capacity is considerably higher, up to 100 guests, for standing/mingling events, just let us know what you need.

Children’s Parties

Children’s Parties

Looking to host a children’s birthday party? We can’t put up a bouncy castle, play loud music nor host a cast of entertainers, but if you want good food and great surroundings the Larder at Butler’s Retreat might be the place! For older kids who fancy something a little different, afternoon tea can be a great option too.

Please take a read through the options and timings etc. in the children’s parties section of ourDaytime Catering brochure then get in touch to book via our quick enquiry form.
