Catering

`If you would like to focus on relaxing in the wonderful Shropshire countryside rather than cooking for yourselves, we can cater for you and your guests. Batchcott Hall comes with the option to take advantage of an in-house kitchen team, able to accommodate every level of catering, from entirely self-catered, to bed and breakfast, to a 3-course local dining experience. We try our very best to keep things local and seasonal, minimising the miles and maximising the flavours of our dishes.

If you are interested in our catering, please contact us so we can discuss your requirements in detail, or for more information on our wider catering services please visit our website: www.batchcottandwaller.com
