We just wanted to say Thank you for all your hard work.  We had a fabulous Wedding and are so pleased we found your venue.  Everything ran really smoothly and all the extra touches (the cocktails on arrival & children's meals) were really appreciated.  You really contributed to making our day perfect, thank you and best  wishes.

Sara and Niall's Wedding

Saturday 1st August 2009

Dear Kathryn,

Now that our overseas guests have gone home and the euphoria of Sara and Niall’s wedding has subsided a little, I’m belatedly writing to thank you and your staff for a wonderful occasion.
From our point of view the event went like clockwork and the professionalism of your team shone through without exception they were helpful, courteous and smiling and even the weather held for us.

Ken and I are especially grateful for the way you organised the event at relatively short notice following our problems with our previous venue. What could have been a disaster for us was quickly turned around by your efficiency and our sense of relief was enormous.
Please pass on our thanks to your colleagues and we look forward to visiting Drayton Old Lodge for lunch in the future when we’re in Norwich visiting our daughter and new son-in-law.

With best wishes

Yours Sincerely

Pat Gifford (Mother of the Bride)

Sarah and Matthew's Wedding

6th September 2008

"From the beautiful setting and fantastic facilities to the delicious food and amenable staff, Drayton Old Lodge proved to be the perfect venue for our wedding. The flexibility and attention to detail provided by Kathryn and her team enabled us to create exactly the kind of celebration we had hoped for. The first class treatment we received, from the planning stages right through to the big day itself, provided us with the most memorable time that we could have wished for. The experience both us and our guests enjoyed is still the subject of conversation even 8 months later!"

Mr and Mrs Ward
Golden Wedding Party, March 2009

We would like to thank the management and staff of Drayton Old Lodge for the outstanding evening we spent there on the occasion of our Golden Wedding Party. The table buffet meal was superb and was thoroughly enjoyed by all; the way the tables and decorations were set out helped to make the evening a great success.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this great location for special occasions.

MBS Awards Christmas Party;

Further to our staff Christmas Party at Drayton Old Lodge please pass on our unanimous thanks to your staff for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Upon entering the dining hall we were immediately taken by the impressive and prestigious surroundings. This “wow” factor sets the mind of guests well for the evening to come. The menu and wine list offered a first class choice, and indeed lived up to all our expectations when served, and is more than a match for many of the “exclusive restaurants”. Each member of waiting and bar staff has so obviously been trained very well in their job but, perhaps they were also picked for their smile and disposition! They were an absolute credit to you restaurant.

Rogers & Norton Grand Charity Ball
2nd June 2007

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, your fellow directors and your staff in particular consideration for Kathryn for all the hard work and effort they put in, to make our event such a success. The feedback I am getting from all our guests is that they had a brilliant night with us. This is in no small part due to the efforts of your staff which I thank you. I hope you found the experience as rewarding as we did and we are hopeful that together we will have raised somewhere in the region of £18,000.00 for the Clare School.
