New for 2024 onward, the dry hire option at Blake Hall gives couples the flexibility to bring their preferred professional caterer to suit their unique traditions and preferences, for between 50 and 150 guests. This option is popular for Asian weddings but might also be appropriate for weddings with specific cultural requirements.

The evening bar will be supplied by Waters Edge Catering.
