Menus

For the menu, there are several suggested options:

For groups of 35 persons or less:

Guests could order from our a la carte menu or "Mini Menu".

Guests can have a limited a la carte menu. With this option the host could pre-set a soup and / or salad, choose two or three main courses from our a la carte menu, and pre-set a dessert. Our staff could then publish a mini-menu for the event. With this option, guests would be able to choose the main course they wanted that evening. The pricing for this option would be as in the a la carte menu.

The host could work from one of our banquet menus. In this case the host would pre-set the entire dinner for the guests, or could pre-set the courses and then ask the guests to RSVP. The host would then need to keep track of which guests are having which course. A count must be provided to the Briarhurst Manor and the host would need to set up color-coded place cards or name cards for each guest.

For groups of more than 35 persons:

As the host, you could offer the guests a buffet.

A signed contract and a 40% of estimated final bill as a non-refundable deposit will lock-in the date, location, and time. The deposit will be applied directly to the final bill. We ask that the final bill be paid by the conclusion of the event. Additional advanced payment plans are available.

All food and beverage is subject to a taxable 22% service charge and 8.8% sales tax.
