Private Dining & The Best Parlour
A dining experience woven with heritage, flavour and intimacy.
Perfect for:
Celebrations • Intimate Weddings • Milestone Dinners • Executive Dining
Cultural Gatherings • Artist Suppers • Literary Evenings
Welcome to the most storied rooms in the house — where literary greats once gathered, and where every detail still honours the art of hospitality.
Our private dining rooms offer an atmospheric blend of candlelight, Georgian proportion, curated art, and contemporary warmth. Deep tones, generous textures, and thoughtful touches set the scene for unforgettable meals — from refined tasting menus to relaxed celebratory feasts.
The Best Parlour, restored with respect and quiet luxury, offers a setting where every course becomes a conversation; where food, wine, and company take centre stage.
Paired with seasonal menus, locally-sourced produce, and attentive service, your dining experience becomes more than a meal — it's a memory in motion.
Where dining becomes theatre, and history becomes your guest of honour.
A thoughtful, seasonal table
Food at The Sherborne is grounded in simplicity, craft and wholehearted hospitality. Our chefs cook with the seasons, drawing inspiration from Dorset’s fields, farms and kitchen gardens. Plates are generous yet refined — designed to bring people together, spark conversation and slow the moment down.
From garden-grazing canapés and celebratory feasts to relaxed family-style sharing menus, every dish honours local growers, small producers and the quiet beauty of honest ingredients. We believe in flavour that feels rooted, service that feels kind, and meals that feel like part of your story.
