Does Marshwood Manor charge corkage?

Yes, if you wish to supply your own alcohol and drinks, that's fine, we can do corkage. Corkage will be charged at £12.50 per person for glasses, clearing, serving, cleaning, bottle recycling and alcohol license. If you wish to hire in a bar provider, that is also fine. No corkage will be charged if they are responsible for all the above.

How much is the deposit?

One third of the hire price is required on booking to secure your dates. The second third is due six months prior to your event and the remainder is due two months prior.
