Additional Ideas
Instead of our set dessert menus we could offer a dessert buffet with a selection of desserts or fruit displays for adults and children. This could include an ice cream buffet for children to create their own dessert of different flavour ice creams and toppings.
Below are some ideas that could add the extra ‘wow’ factor to your special day.
As an alternative to dessert or an addition to the day/evening why not offer your guests a Chocolate Fountain - the Chocolate Fountain comes with a selection of freshly prepared cut fruits and marshmallows to dip in smooth milk chocolate.
Prices start at £500.00
Other ideas include a Candy Floss machine, a Popcorn machine or a Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream stand
(All of these items start at £400.00 however individual quotes would be given for each particular party)
For further details ask the team at Forty Hall.
Entertainment
On your day entertainment could range from a DJ or band to a children’s entertainer, bouncy castle or surf machine!! Ideas are endless but we would like to work with you to make your day unique so please talk to us about any ideas you have. At Forty Hall we work closely with our suppliers and would happily recommend some of them to you.
Linen
Our standard is to provide white linen circular tablecloths, which drop to the floor and white linen napkins (these are included within our menu prices). However we can provide round floor length tablecloths in many colours and materials ranging from satin to velvet. Also to compliment your colour scheme we can provide coloured napkins knotted with tassels or bows and coloured chair covers with tassels or bows.
(Please ask for our additional charges for linen if you are interested)

Personalise the venue to your occasion by adding colourful balloons, beautiful flowers, or sparkling night lights.
