For many years the Castle Tea Room was considered the finest restaurant in Lawrence.
Smaller groups up to 50 work well on the first floor with plenty of room for food, beverage and seating. With a group of 80, guests can be seated on both the first and second floors. Larger groups ranging from 75-100 are better suited to utilize the Courtyard during warmer weather area with our new tent!
Although we do not provide direct food service, we have formed partnerships with the finest caterers and restaurants in the area. We work with a wide variety of local caterers who can craft a food and beverage plan unique to your food preferences and budget. Often we can work with a caterer to develop a per person menu that includes food, service and space rental. Give us an idea of your budget and what kind of menu you would like and we will be happy to make suggestions.
