  4. Booking is essential. A £30 per person deposit is required to secure your table at the time of booking, this can be paid over the phone with a credit or debit card. Unfortunately without a deposit, we are unable to take your reservation. If you make a reservation online, one of our team will be in touch regarding the deposit. Should you have a gift voucher as your payment, we will require the code and this will be used to guarantee your booking.

    All evening reservations are subject to a 48-hour cancellation policy. Should you need to amend or cancel your booking 48 hours prior to your reservation, no charges apply and your deposit will be kept as credit for a future booking.

    However, should you need to amend or cancel within 48 hours of your arrival, your deposit will be forfeited.

    If you are paying with a gift voucher, your voucher will then be redeemed and cannot be used at a later date. All cancellation requests must be sent to hotel@seaham-hall.com, quoting the date of your reservation and your name. Once your request has been received, it will be confirmed by our team via email.

Historic walls, contemporary plates

A dining room like no other

Sample the best of modern British fare in a fabulous setting. Glittering 14-carat gold plated chandeliers, deep chairs, cosy booths, and gorgeous Georgian windows - all watched over by our former resident Lord Byron, whose portrait hangs proudly on the wall.
