Gillen
A gille is a medieval banquet for groups – three courses and spiced wine, served in our 17th-century vaults. We offer two feast menus, one with meat and one vegetarian.
From 27 November to 22 December our guild menus are replaced by the Christmas Feast. À la carte is served as usual.

Manners and etiquette
at a medieval feast
Manners at a medieval feast differed from what we consider correct today. It was customary to bring your own plate and cutlery. The fork was not eaten with, as it was held to be the devil's tool – and one should never invite the devil into the body.
Should you get dirty during the meal, you were expected to wipe yourself on your own linen, but never on your table companion's – that was considered impolite.
Duels during the evening were to take place somewhere secluded, preferably a spot chosen in advance by the feast master. Weapons were therefore always to be left at the door.
