Overview
Hever Castle is set in over 600 acres including a 38 acre lake and four acres of formal gardens. The castle and the adjoining Astor Wing are available all year round on an “Exclusive use” basis for conferences, day meetings and company away days.
Taking just one group at any one time guarantees the privacy and seclusion to ensure any meeting or event is a success. It also means staff can concentrate fully on guests to ensure the highest standards of comfort service and cuisine.
There are three superb interconnecting meeting rooms, The Tudor Suite, all of which have lots of natural daylight, plus smaller syndicate rooms. WI-FI internet access is available through out the Astor Wing giving the delegates the freedom to work wire free at broadband speed.
A range of exciting outdoor team building activities can be organised form Laser Shooting, Archery and Duck Herding through to motorised sports such as quad bikes, apache cars, digger driving and reverse steer land rover driving.
Catering
Menus are based on Prue Leith’s original philosophy of simplicity and quality and combine only the best ingredients to create imaginative, flexible menus for all type of events.
Leith’s take pride in their adaptability, providing both recommended menus and bespoke dishes to suit a myriad of requirements in addition to their signature dishes which are simply too exquisite not to be shared.

This venue is represented by Lime Venue Portfolio - the unique meetings & events service from Compass Group, your catering provider.
A strong approach to corporate responsibility ensures that everyone within Compass Group understands their responsibilities to clients, consumers, colleagues, the community and the environment
Our Corporate Responsibility Framework is a key part of everyday life, with everyone taking accountability for their actions. Through our five pillars of Corporate Responsibility each day we look to:
- Support and develop our employees

- Support the good health and wellbeing of our consumers
- Reduce our impact on the world in which we live
- Make a positive contribution to the communities in which we live and work.
Like many listed companies, Compass Group's corporate responsibility performance is rated by independent organisations that assess the extent to which companies effectively manage social, environmental and ethical matters and as a consequence deliver improved performance.
We are a member of the FTSE 4 Good Index Series. This measures the performance of companies that meet globally recognised corporate responsibility standards. For inclusion, eligible companies must meet stringent criteria requirements.
