In 1591 the estate played host to the Elvetham Entertainment. Arranged for Queen Elizabeth I, the four day spectacle was one of the most exciting and lavish events of her reign.
Our Sylvanus Restaurant is named after one of the mythological creatures from the entertainments grand water pageant, Silvanus, the Roman god of woods, wildlands and pastures. Introducing himself as a devoted servant of Queen Elizabeth, his performance was designed to praise the queen's wise leadership over her land based commanders and naval captains during the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
Today our Sylvanus Restaurant is a nod towards that memorable performance almost 500 years ago in a hope to keep the tale of that event alive in the history of the English monarchy.
