    The Great Kitchen is the oldest working kitchen in the country, built in the reign of Edward III, it has been used for over 750 years.

    See original fireplaces from the 1360s and hear about the elaborate dinners prepared for successive monarchs, including the 30 course sumptuous banquets in the time of George IV and Queen Victoria's unique dining etiquette. 

    Learn about how the Great Kitchen is used today for State occasions hosted by His Majesty The King in this unique guided tour of an area not usually open to the public.
