Luxury Private Dining Venue in Shropshire

Our Stately Home Getaway is private dining with the night thrown in. You and your guests have dinner in the Hall, carry on at your own bar until midnight, then head upstairs to bed. Breakfast is ready in the morning, and nobody has to drive home.

Netley Hall was built in 1858 and sits in 100 acres of Shropshire countryside, a few minutes outside Shrewsbury. While you're staying, the house is yours. There are no other guests and no other tables, just your group.

Private Dining at a Shropshire Stately Home

Our private dining in Shropshire is designed for groups who want a proper occasion, not a booked-out restaurant. Dinner is served in the elegant surroundings of the Hall, with seasonal menus and attentive service, for groups of 12 guests or more.

Because it's your house for the night, there's no rush to leave and no other diners at the next table. Linger over dessert, make the speeches, raise the toasts, and let the evening run as long as you like.

Dinner and an Overnight Stay in a Victorian Country House

Adding the overnight stay turns a dinner into a getaway. Check in from 4pm, settle into your rooms and gather for drinks before dinner. After the meal, the private bar stays open until midnight, and nobody needs to drive or arrange a lift home, because bed is just a staircase away. Breakfast is served the next morning with check-out by 11am, or stay until noon with lunch if you'd rather not rush.

The Hall sleeps up to 40 guests across 20 bedrooms, each with an en suite and tea and coffee facilities, so couples, families and friends all have somewhere comfortable to stay.

Occasions for Private Dining with Accommodation

A private dinner with rooms upstairs suits almost any celebration. These are the occasions we host most often.

Milestone birthdays and anniversaries

A 40th, a 60th or a golden anniversary deserves more than a restaurant booking. Gather everyone around one table, then wake up together on the estate the next morning.

Family celebrations

Bring the whole family together for a dinner that feels like an event, without anyone facing a long drive home afterwards. Grandparents, cousins and little ones can all stay under one roof.

Murder mystery dinners in a country house

There's no better setting for a whodunnit than a Victorian country house with a past. Dress the part, sit down to dinner and see who cracks the case before dessert. We regularly host murder mystery nights and can help you plan yours.

Corporate dinners and retreats

Thank your team or impress your clients with a private dinner in a stately home. Combine it with meetings or team building on the estate the next day, and everyone goes home feeling the trip was worth it.

Christmas Private Dining Venue

Christmas private dining at Netley Hall works for family get-togethers and work parties alike. You have a festive dinner in the Hall and the bar until midnight, then everyone stays over, so there's no sorting out lifts or taxis at the end of the night.

December dates tend to go first, so it's worth getting in touch early if you're planning a Christmas or New Year stay.

A Country House Getaway Near Shrewsbury

Netley Hall feels a world away, but it's only minutes from Shrewsbury. Guests can explore the town's medieval streets, independent shops and riverside walks before dinner, or head into the Shropshire Hills the next day.
