Function Menus at Blandford Manor

 Christenings, Baby showers, Bridal showers, Anniversaries, Awards functions, are all part of the routine at

Blandford Manor with menu options available to suit your pocket and your style.

We offer a wide range of Cocktails

At Blandford Manor every effort is made to ensure customer satisfaction. Our highly trained team have many years of experience preparing culinary masterpieces for large and small groups. Traditionally we prepare individual dishes for small groups but far prefer to serve buffet meals to large groups (more than 20 guests)  – this ensures that guests do not have to wait for their food to be prepared.

Please refer to the attached menus for details on all function menus.

Please note that given time, we are normally able to taylor our menus to suit specific needs but this may result in a change in the price and will be strictly subject to availability of ingredients.

Function Charge:

Functions (such as birthday parties, anniversary parties, bridal showers etc) are regularly catered for at Blandford Manor.

If you are planning on something simple and just want to have a meal as you would in any restaurant, then you would book a table in the normal way and you will be treated as any other restaurant guests. Please do not arrive and expect any special treatment simply because it is your birthday, anniversary etc

If on the other hand you would like to make the event more like a celebration, then we offer two solutions:

1. Choose one of our Buffet or Set Menus (note some menus are only available for 20 or more guests)and you are good to go, everything you require including table linen and table settings are included and you can bring in items to decorate the area around your tables.

or

2. Pay a function fee of R50 pp and you get the same treatment:

• Tables will be set with table cloths and table settings to suit your chosen menu.
• Tables will be provided for your cake (one cake is permitted) and for your gifts
• You are allowed to bring in decor such as overlays, flowers, balloons, seat covers, tie backs and bunting
• Note: no confetti or coloured ribbon is allowed

Note: We DO NOT cater for children’s parties

Please note the following:

• You must restrict your activities to the area around your tables – please do not allow your guests to occupy adjacent tables.
• No music or singing is allowed
• Children with your party must be controlled so as to not interfere with the enjoyment of other restaurant patrons
• Decor must be setup immediately before your function and removed immediately after your function – this is your responsibility, Manor staff are not permitted to assist you with this activity.
