How good is the food?
Holdsworth House has an award-winning restaurant. It will be the same restaurant chefs cooking your canapes, wedding breakfast, evening buffet or banquet. If you book Holdsworth House for your wedding, you will be invited to a complimentary menu tasting so you can see, as well as taste, your chosen dishes so you know exactly what to expect on the day. We understand that food is a critical part of your day, and so we only operate a fresh banqueting service for the ultimate flavour and quality (we do not cook and reheat wedding dishes). In addition, we have an extensive wine list curated by a Master of Wine, with a brilliant selection of New and Old World wines and vintages. Our bar stocks over 100 gins – many of them local to Yorkshire. We work closely with a local artisan IPA brewer to supply our superb pale ale.
