Celebrate in style at Butley Priory

In the Suffolk countryside, close to the coast, you'll find Butley Priory, an enchanting destination venue for birthday dinners, anniversary & retirement parties, surrounded by ancient woodland, just two hours from London.

 

Private Dining in Suffolk

Whether it’s a big birthday, a milestone anniversary, or a special retirement dinner, Butley Priory has all the ingredients to create a memorable event that your guests will love!


After dinner, retreat to the Drawing Room for coffee, or step inside the Pilgrim’s bar, renowned for its extensive gin selection and fabulous cocktails.

Relax by the log fire in Winter, or make the most of the Summer evenings with our outdoor concept bar, complete with twinkly festoon lights.

 
You, Daniela and your staff did the most amazing job today. Of course the building makes the most beautiful venue and the sun also shone for us, but we are so grateful to you all for your hard work and for looking after us and our guests so perfectly for Denis’ 90th birthday.

It all ran like clockwork, the room looked lovely, and as for the waiting staff, they were wonderful, kind, helpful and with such delightful smiles.
— Sue and Denis
