Steeple Court Manor

The ultimate venue for your Wedding Reception

Every Friday evening from the beginning of May to the end of September all prospective clients are invited to call in, no appointment necessary and enjoy a leisurely walk around and a glass of wine on us.

Our food Philosophy.

At Steeple Court we aim to provide the highest quality food for you & your guests. We source the ingredients for our menus carefully , & where posible always use local, fresh produce from hand selected suppliers, chosen for their high standards of excellence.  

For example, the speciality bread rolls on our menu are sourced from " The Naked Baker" in Botley, who produces wholesome bread free from additives. Our desserts when not made by us on the premises, come from a local artisan supplier based in Southampton who lovingly produces them to our particular specifications.

All vegetables, meat & fish are all top quality, delivered fresh to us and inspected by our maticulous chef, who will cook the meat for your main meal just minutes before you sit down to eat on the day.

Our kitchen, awarded the highest Health & Hygiene rating by ( Eastleigh Borough Council Environmental Health), also takes great care to ensure that guests that have allergies or special dietary requirements are looked after properly, ensuring no cross contamination of anything which may affect their well being.

Finally, if you take a walk in the grounds of Steeple Court Manor , you will find a 400 year old Mulberry tree. This tree still produces beautifull big Mulberries every year which are used to make a mouth-watering Mulberry coulis for our desserts and an extra special Mulberry & Port sauce served with our Game pate. 

We hope these examples demonstrate the dedication & care taken with the food on our menus & we look forward to serving you on your special day.

      Sue & Neils 40th Anniversary 31 July 2011
      We had celebrated our daughters wedding reception here 16 years ago, so knew how good Ann, Jim and the staff at Steeple Court were. We were not disappointed. All our guests praised the venue, staff and food. We were blessed with great weather, so some of the younger element used the pool for a paddle too. A fantastic place for celebrating whatever the occasion. We feel everyone is likely to love this venue.

      Just the finest wedding reception ...
      Claire and George's wedding reception on 9th July 2011 at Steeple Court Manor was just superb. Steeple Court is such a beautiful setting for a wedding. The gardens looked lovely and our guests were thrilled with their Kir Royale cocktails and strawberries on the front lawn. The staff and customer service was excellent - nothing was too much trouble. The food was quite delicious - and the service prompt and professional. The marquee looked stunning. Whilst Ann provides silk flowers as standard, we were able to change these for our own fresh flower arrangements and table decorations. Everything is possible at Steeple Court. An amazing day, at the finest of venues which would be very hard to better. Thank you to Ann, Jim and Paul and all the staff.

      Kate and I are so glad we chose Steeple Court for our wedding reception. I think it's Hampshire's best kept secret! The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was brilliant. (The presentation of the food was very good and the main course was hot and delicious.) We were very lucky with the weather and the marquee looked fabulous when we arrived. I'm very happy that our guests were looked after well and we would have no hesitation in recommending Steeple Court Manor as a venue to anyone. Our very grateful thanks too to Jim and Ann Firth who own Steeple Court for their attention to detail in everything that we asked for.

      Stuart and I decided to hold our reception at Steeple Court Manor because the marquee and surroundings were so beautiful. But I couldn't have dreamed how perfectly smoothly everything went on the day. Jim and Ann Firth, who own Steeple Court Manor were so welcoming, and everything was exactly as we had asked for. We held a Humanist ceremony on the South Lawn area and chairs were placed around the lawn in a semi circle for our guests to be comfortable. We had a Jazz band playing for us and drinks and canapes we served to our guests. The service was marvellous and the food was exceptional. A wonderful day to remember thanks to Steeple Court and all it's staff.

      Intimate venue with the perfect hosts
      From the minute we walked in and met Ann and Jim, we knew that we''d picked the perfect venue. Glass of wine in hand, made from the Steeple Court vineyard, we walked around the beautiful grounds and immediately fell in love with it. Anne and Jim couldn''t do enough to help us, from sitting us down and helping plan everything down to the last detail, from making sure everything was perfect on the day nothing was too much for them to bouncy castles and taxis at the end of the night, which are the little things that are easy to miss but make a huge difference to the day. As for the day, it was perfect, our guests had their drinks and ate strawberries on the lawn, we had a harpist playing! whilst we had our photos taken by the pond. Then it was time for the meal, the food was perfectly cooked I''m not just saying that, more than one person commented on the chicken and how great it was so make sure you order that! and the profiteroles were heavenly! The DJ was great and played fantastic music until it was time to go. The wedding venue is one of, if not the most important part of the day, we couldn''t have asked for two nicer people to help us and a more perfect venue so thank you Ann and Jim from Mr and Mrs Hughes!

      This was our perfect wedding venue
      Steeple Court is the perfect wedding venue and we can not fault it. We wanted a marquee wedding, however, we didn’t have the budget, time or know how to organise this ourselves and so Steeple Court was perfect. The owners Anne & Jim Firth where a huge support on the build up to our big day and helped with the planning and offered superb advice to make our day special. The food was an important aspect of our day and we designed our own Wedding Breakfast to keep with our theme and they where more than happy to accommodate this. All we can say is just imagine your reception drinks in the beautiful gardens with a jazz band playing on the lawn whilst drinking cold white wine from the Vineyard and eating strawberries. Then into the Marquee for a wonderful meal whilst the Jazz band continued to play followed by lots of dancing. This really was our dream wedding.
