What catering restrictions apply to wedding events at Lincoln's Inn?
Lincoln's Inn operates an in-house catering only policy - outside food is not permitted to be brought into the venue. All catering must be provided by their award-winning in-house catering team, and there may be additional small fees depending on specific caterer requirements.

In inclement weather, the East Terrace can be used as an alternative to outdoor spaces. For events requiring outdoor elements, wet weather options must be arranged, with indoor spaces like the Great Hall available to accommodate guests on yoga mats or for alternative setups.
How far in advance should wedding bookings be made and what is the enquiry process?
