Looking for a unique present with a twist this Christmas for family or friends?  Then treating them to a splendid night stay in a Tudor castle followed by a gourmet meal in a real life dungeon could be just the answer. 

Thornbury Castle is the only Tudor castle in England where guests can stay and dine like Kings and Queens.  Located on the edge of the Cotswolds, the castle is complete with turrets, steep spiral stone staircases and beautiful oriel windows.  It has an extraordinary sense of history - Henry VIII stayed there on his honeymoon tour with Anne Boleyn.

Staying in a Tudor castle is a remarkable experience in its own right and Thornbury Castle has taken things to the next level by offering private dining in its 16th-century dungeon – a must for those wanting to buy that once in a lifetime Christmas gift.

For adventurous diners looking for a very special and intimate experience, dungeon dining with food by Head Chef Mark Veale who gained experience at restaurants including Gordon Ramsay's Boxwood Cafe and The Wolseley, will be the ideal present.  With a modern British style, focussing on the very best ingredients of the area whilst they are at their very best, Mark's signature dishes include Poached Egg Ravioli with Smoked salmon Terrine and Collection of Middle white Pork with Calvados Veloute, as well as a Classic Sticky Toffee Pudding and Chocolate Fondant.

The dungeon is also home to the hotel's bonded wine cellar with its award-winning collection of bottles from some of the world's best artisan wine-makers and estates. To accompany a menu of sensational dishes from the chef, the talented sommelier will recommend wines to suit every palate and pocket.

The decadent candlelit cellar dining is fantastic for romantic meals and family alike – the maximum party size is eight people.

A four-course meal in the dungeon with matched wines starts at £65 per person[1]. To book please call: 01454 281182
