Four-Course Feast
Queen Maria Isabella welcomes you to dine with her and her royal court. Always a generous host, the Queen has commanded her royal chefs to cook her favorite meal just for you.
Medieval Times’ noble guests feast on garlic bread, tomato bisque soup, roasted chicken, sweet buttered corn, and herb-basted potato. And a feast isn’t complete without dessert! Satisfy your sweet tooth with a treat worthy of royalty served with hot coffee. Based on supply, an item from our feast may occasionally be substituted for a different item.
Dinner is served with two refreshing rounds of select beverages.
Special Dietary Accommodations for Royals
We offer an array of meal options for those who are vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free, as commanded by the Queen.
The vegan meal includes a generous serving of hummus with carrot and celery sticks, a main course featuring three-bean stew with fire-roasted tomato and brown rice, and a choice of fresh fruit or Italian ice for dessert.
The vegetarian option includes all of these vegan dishes along with a side of warm pita bread.
Gluten-free meals available upon request include tomato bisque soup, hummus, carrot and celery sticks, as well as the main course of roasted chicken, sweet buttered corn and herb-basted potato. You receive your choice of fresh fruit or Italian ice for dessert.

Parking wraps around the Castle comfortably making it an easy stroll over to the entrance. No need to fret, the parking for the Castle is ample!
