Sunday lunch is our final meal together.  Meal Plan includes the Sat. evening Grand Feast at 6pm.  

Grand Feast Details – The Sat evening Grand Feast is an event that includes theatre, LARP, and closing awards for tournaments and saving the Kingdom of Dragonia from untold dangers; followed by medieval dancing outside.  The Grand Feast typically goes until about 8pm, and then we will move to dancing.  The event starts promptly at 6pm with opening introductions.  Tables will be called for the first trip to the feast.  Medieval high fantasy garb is highly encouraged (but not required).

Children’s Meal Plan Pricing:  FREE for ages 0-4 years, and for ages 5-11 years it’s half price, $97.50.

Individual meals may be purchased separately.  Breakfast – $13, Lunch – $16, Dinner – $18, Sat. evening Grand Feast – $25.  When ordering, the website cart will ask you to specify the day for each meal ordered.

Please reserve meals ahead of time to guarantee meals.  Our deadline for the caterer is about one week ahead of the event.  However, as long as the link is open you may order, as we will have a small buffer.  Once we have reached our caterers buffer limit we will no longer be able to request meals, and we will close the link.  It is possible a limited number of meals may still be available day-of for walk-ins, however there are no guarantees.  We have had to turn people away in the past when tickets ran out.  It is best to order in advance to help with planning and to ensure we can meet your needs.
