DRINKS RECEPTIONS
Originally designed (and still used by the family) for aristocratic entertaining, Ardgowan has a suite of elegant reception rooms, which can be used exclusively for your drinks reception.
Whether for private or corporate purposes, as a stand-alone event or as an optional addition to your in-house 
itinerary, drinks will be served by our discreet and courteous staff, along with a selection of delicious handcrafted canapés.
Sir Ludovic can be on hand to offer a guided tour [see our LEARN page] to entertain guests. Musicians can be arranged with prior notice and pianists can make use of our beautiful Bluthner piano in the Library.
LUNCHES & DINNERS
Dinner/Lunch is served in the dining room, an intimate yet commodious chandelier-lit space overlooking the lawns, with direct access to the garden via a Lorimer glass covered conservatory.
We are able to seat between 4 and 40 guests at an antique telescopic table. Numbers of up to 60 can
be accommodated at round tables in the Green Room. Provisions can be made for larger groups upon request.
Using only the highest quality local produce, our chefs use the season’s freshest and best ingredients, complemented by carefully selected wines from around the world. All served with a discreet service designed to allow conversation to flow.
