Private dining · Intimate evenings · Countryside
Private dining at Lamorna Villa is not a restaurant experience. It's an intimate, chef-led evening created entirely for your group — in a setting that makes the whole thing feel a little bit magical.
The experience
Forget restaurant bookings, shared dining rooms, and menus that aren't quite right for your group. At Lamorna Villa, private dining means exactly that — your group, your evening, your menu. A chef arrives, the table is set, and the only thing you need to do is show up and enjoy it.
Whether it's two of you for an anniversary or twelve around the long table for a celebration, we build the entire evening around you.
Bespoke menus
Tailored to your group's tastes, dietary needs and the occasion.
Private chef
A skilled chef cooks and serves — you just enjoy every course.
Table setting
Candles, linens, florals — we create the atmosphere from scratch.
Wine & drinks
Curated pairings, welcome drinks, or simply BYO — your call.
Perfect for
Private dining at Lamorna suits any reason to gather — the bigger the occasion, the more memorable the setting becomes.
Candlelit, intimate, and completely private. The setting does half the work — you just have to ask the question.
01Whether it's 30, 40, 50 or something in between — celebrate with a dinner that matches the occasion.
02A long table, everyone together, no one stuck in the kitchen. The meal that brings everyone back around.
03Client dinners and team celebrations that go beyond the standard restaurant booking. Memorable for the right reasons.
04The night before the big day, done properly. Intimate, warm and exactly the right amount of celebratory.
05You don't need a reason. Sometimes the best evenings are the ones with no occasion at all — just good food and great company.
06The setting
Our dining room was made for evenings like these. A long table that seats up to 12, warm lighting that flatters everyone, and a kitchen open enough to feel part of the theatre — without sacrificing any of the magic.
For smaller groups, we create an intimate table setting that makes two people feel like the only two people in the world. For larger parties, the full long-table experience comes alive with candles, flowers and the kind of atmosphere that makes people put their phones down.

Do I need to be staying at the villa to book a private dinner?
Not at all. Private dining is available to external guests too, subject to availability. That said, staying overnight makes the whole experience even more special — no one has to drive home.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Absolutely — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, and preferences are all catered for. Just let us know in your enquiry and our chef will build the menu around your group.
Can we bring our own wine?
Yes — BYO is welcome with no corkage fee. Alternatively, we're happy to arrange a curated wine selection or cocktail welcome drinks as part of your package.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend at least two weeks in advance for dinner bookings, especially on weekends. For proposals, anniversaries or special occasions, earlier is always better so we can plan every detail.
What's included in the price?
All menus include the chef's time, food, table linen and glassware, candles, and service. Florals, wine flights, and custom extras are priced separately and detailed in your quote.
Can you arrange entertainment or special surprises?
Yes — from a musician for the evening to a personalised menu card or a surprise dessert presentation, we love going the extra mile. Just tell us what you're imagining.
