Are you looking for a weekend full of great times, including fab food and gorgeous drinks? Welcome to The Foodie Package!
We have a portfolio of stunning group accommodation in the beautiful Derbyshire and Peak District countryside to play host to your celebrations. We have a complete range of unique accommodation, so exact costs will be provided based on your requirements.
On the day of your arrival you can kick back and relax, knowing that your drinks, food and entertainment are all sorted. Enjoy a real ale, wine & prosecco, gin, cocktail or whiskey tasting experience, delivered at your accommodation by one of our experts. We have wine sommelier’s, whisky & gin blenders and connoisseurs, top-level mixologists and real ale guru’s to dazzle you with their knowledge and skills. They’ll guide you through a sparkling combination of different drinks. We can pair these activities with some of our specialist grazing platters too if you fancy? And always using locally sourced fresh produce where available. Always nice to have some lovely nibbles whilst drinking all that alcohol!
Relax and chill on the Saturday, or speak to us about what’s happening locally and what activities are nearby. Fancy some foodie good stuff in the day? Maybe you might want to add on one of our amazing mobile caterers to come to your accommodation and cook up a storm for you. Choose from catered BBQ’s, street food vendors and wood fired pizza trucks to name but a few of the many options we can arrange for you. Chat to us – we LOVE talking food!
On the Saturday evening we’ll pick you up and chauffeur you to one of the local gastro pubs. We know all the local favourites, and we’ll take great pleasure in chatting through the options with you to ensure you’re booked into the perfect choice for you. We’ll pre-book your table, and liaise with your chosen venue to make sure you get a truly memorable evening. Enjoy a lovely meal, and when you’re ready we’ll take you round more wonderful country pubs! Stay in each pub as long or as little as you like. Enjoy the merriment, safe in the knowledge that your minibus is right outside, ready to whisk you back to your accommodation at your pre-agreed time.
If you don’t fancy going out on the Saturday night, how about we arrange for a private chef to come to your accommodation and create a truly memorable 3 course evening meal for you and your guests? You’ll get to pre-choose your menu in advance, and we can take care of everything else for you. Your dishes will be served to you whilst you sit and enjoy each others company. We can help on wine choices too if you like? We can arrange wine & prosecco deliveries, cask ale deliveries and even pre-mixed cocktails deliveries. You don’t need to lift a finger! Or we can even arrange for a cocktail bar to be set up at your accommodation, complete with professional mixologists. Maybe you might want us to arrange some serving butlers/butlerettes for you? No problem – we can do the lot.
Give us a call. Have a chat through some ideas with us, and we’ll put together a night to remember.
It all sounds rather lovely doesn’t it!
All our packages are designed to give you an idea of what we do and how much it would cost. Everything we do is bespoke, so if you want to add/remove any element of a package that’s fine. But whatever you choose – with HDK you can lean on our experience and local knowledge to guarantee you one heck of a weekend!
We’ll listen to you, can suggest options, put it all together for you and deliver!
If you fancy bolting on some other bits, we can happily sort all that for you. For example, you might want to consider some of the following add-ons
I thought having to organise a stag do was going to be so stressful, but then I contacted Greg. After having a chat about what I wanted to do and the numbers I had, Greg understood. He put a package together and got me the cost. Even when I was adding extras or just testing the waters it was no issue. He just did his thing and came straight back to me. Nothing was a problem, always at the end of the phone to reassure and answer all my questions. Even there to assist over the weekend, when we got lost. Greg and his team made the stag do an absolute success, it would not have been so fluid without them. Would recommend in a heartbeat. A big thank you to you and your team, and thank you for the stories that will last a lifetime time. Lee Watts.

I got in touch with HDK to arrange a 20-person stag do having previously been on one that had been arranged through the same company. The weekend itself was fantastic, and the service, support, communication and attention to detail was absolutely outstanding. We hired the Matlock Manor House (Lea Hall) for two nights and were blown away by the uniqueness of the property. I've never seen anything like it and can barely believe we were allowed to host a stag do there. We wore appropriate attire, as per the attached photo. The catering company that HDK put us in touch with was great - reasonably priced and the quality was cut above any other stag do food I'd ever had. We were offered a wide variety of activities to add on, but rather than cramming in too much (we're in our 30s now!) we decided to opt for for a Saturday lie-in followed by an excellent fry up and an afternoon coach-based peak distract fancy dress bar crawl. Again this was organised perfectly with lots of flexibility to spend as much or as little time at each pub as we wanted, prioritising beer gardens in the unexpectedly good weather. The pubs were all happy to have us, despite half of us being dressed as Austrian Emperors and communicating only in German. The whole experience was really fantastic, and made so much less stressful than expected due to the hard work of Greg from HDK events. It would be madness to arrange a stag do without them!

The Manor House is stunning. We stayed as a group of “old men” on a stag party (a dozen 40+ year olds) and it was picture perfect. Great communal spaces, some stunning rooms, history and character oozing out of the ancient beams and floorboards, but with the comfort of really decent (4–poster) beds; plenty of hot water, WiFi, Bluetooth speaker etc. Our days entertainment consisted of a minibus-enabled pub crawl around some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. This was all organised very last minute- and the HDK team were totally accommodating. Great venue; superb customer service. Iain Wood
