Food & Drink

At Dorney Lake all food is prepared in our own kitchens.

We offer a range of drink options which can be tailored to suit your style of event and budget. They include:

Drinks reception

The perfect way to welcome your guests to Dorney Lake is by serving a drink as they arrive. You can choose from Pimms, Buck's Fizz, Champagne or Sparkling Wine for example. There will of course be a non-alcoholic alternative available.
