Food & Drink

Whenever food and drink are served at Oxcombe, the focus is on simple, well-made hospitality using high-quality produce and thoughtful presentation. All catering included within our packages is provided by our appointed caterers, working closely with us to deliver food that's eloquent, delicious and suited to your day.

Food and drinks are served using Oxcombe’s own crockery, glassware and tableware. Some pieces are handmade at Oxcombe Pottery, alongside bespoke and carefully chosen items that give each table a relaxed, characterful feel rather than a uniform, hired finish.

When the Cowshed Events Barn is included within a package, it is prepared as a warm and welcoming space, with considered lighting and candlelight creating an intimate atmosphere for gathering, eating and celebrating. The result is a setting that feels informal yet intentional, allowing food, conversation and celebration to take centre stage.

Drinks at Oxcombe

For all packages where a reception takes place, guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol. Drinks can be delivered to Oxcombe the day before your wedding and stored in our refrigeration facilities, ready for the celebration.

We provide tea, coffee and a small selection of non-alcoholic drinks, such as juices. If you would like a wider range of soft drinks, these can be supplied by you.

Drinks are always served by our caterers, either by tray service or from a designated serving area. For couples who would like a focal point for the drinks reception, our horse box bar is available to hire as an optional extra.

The Floating Blue package - Canapés & Drinks Reception

This package includes a relaxed drinks and canapés reception following the ceremony.

Canapés are provided by our appointed caterers and included within the package. Couples can choose a selection from a canapé menu in advance, with final choices agreed ahead of the day.

Drinks are supplied by the couple and served by our caterers, with tea, coffee and a small selection of non-alcoholic drinks provided. The reception typically takes place in the Cowshed Events Barn and surrounding garden areas, allowing guests to move easily between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Shino package - Canapés, Drinks & Afternoon Tea

This package includes everything in Package Two, with the addition of a traditional afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea is provided by our caterers and includes a selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones, alongside tea and coffee. Menu choices are agreed in advance, and dietary requirements can be accommodated.

The Tenmoku package - Full Day Celebration (Dry Hire)

For couples planning a longer celebration with a sit-down meal, dancing and an evening party, our full-day dry-hire option offers the greatest flexibility.

Food and drink are not included within this package. Couples are free to choose their own caterers, and we can provide a recommended supplier list covering a range of styles, from formal dining to relaxed food trucks.

As with all packages, alcohol is supplied by the couple and served by caterers, with the option to hire the horsebox bar if desired.

A note on serving & spaces

Food and drink are served within the Event spaces and garden areas included in your package. Certain areas of the estate are not accessible during weddings, and these boundaries are agreed in advance to ensure the day runs smoothly.
