Groups of 10+ can take advantage of  dining in the newly refurbished Burlington Room. A special price menu selection is available on request.

Picnics can be eaten in our Picnic Area adjacent to the Parkland. We regret that Barbecues are not allowed. Only food bought at The Courtyard can be consumed on The Courtyard Premises.
