THE ORATORY Proposal PACKAGE

For one of life's most important questions, few settings are as romantic as The Oratory.

Hidden within The Milestone Hotel, this extraordinary private dining room was once the original chapel of the house and dates back to the 1600s. Rich in history and architectural beauty, it features an ornate vaulted ceiling, intricate wood panelling and exquisite period details, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and unforgettable.

Exclusively yours for the evening, The Oratory is transformed into a beautifully romantic setting, with a table for two positioned at the heart of the room and adorned with candlelight, flowers and thoughtful personal touches. The surrounding alcoves provide space for gifts, additional floral displays or any bespoke elements you wish to incorporate into your proposal.

Whether planning a grand gesture or a quietly intimate moment, The Oratory offers a setting of timeless elegance, creating memories to treasure for a lifetime.

A Toast to Forever

At The Milestone Hotel, Executive Chef Daniel Putz showcases the very best of British cuisine, combining seasonal ingredients with contemporary flair and exceptional craftsmanship. Choose between a beautifully curated six-course tasting menu or three courses from our à la carte menu, thoughtfully prepared using the finest locally sourced produce.

To begin your celebration, enjoy a bottle of Lanson Champagne or non-alcoholic sparkling wine, accompanied by the timeless theatre of sabrage performed tableside in The Oratory. Sabrage is the art of opening a champagne bottle with a sabre, a timeless ritual dating back to the 1800s, invented to mark moments of celebration and joy. As you raise a glass to your future together, every detail has been carefully considered to create a truly special evening.

We are pleased to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal options, when advised in advance.
