In English architecture, mainly from the Tudor period onwards, a banqueting house is a separate pavilion-like building reached through the gardens from the main residence, whose use is purely for entertaining, especially eating. Or it may be built on the roof of a main house, as in many 16th-century prodigy houses. It may be raised for additional air or a vista, with a simple kitchen below, as at Hampton Court Palace and Wrest Park, and it may be richly decorated, but it normally contains no bedrooms, and typically a single grand room apart from any service spaces. The design is often ornamental, if not downright fanciful, and some are also follies, as in Paxton's Tower. There are usually plenty of windows, as appreciating the view was a large part of their purpose. Often they are built on

  • In English architecture, mainly from the Tudor period onwards, a banqueting house is a separate pavilion-like building reached through the gardens from the main residence, whose use is purely for entertaining, especially eating. Or it may be built on the roof of a main house, as in many 16th-century prodigy houses. It may be raised for additional air or a vista, with a simple kitchen below, as at Hampton Court Palace and Wrest Park, and it may be richly decorated, but it normally contains no bedrooms, and typically a single grand room apart from any service spaces. The design is often ornamental, if not downright fanciful, and some are also follies, as in Paxton's Tower. There are usually plenty of windows, as appreciating the view was a large part of their purpose. Often they are built on a slope, so that from the front, only the door to the main room can be seen; the door to the servants' spaces underneath was hidden at the back (Wrest Park). The Banqueting House, Gibside is an example. In the English of the period, "banquet" had two distinct meanings: firstly a grand formal celebratory meal (the usual modern sense), but also a course or light meal taken in a special place away from the main dining place, the relevant sense here (Whitehall apart). In large meals a banqueting house was most likely to be used for eating dessert, if reasonably close to the main house. Otherwise it might be used on fine days for taking tea, or any kind of drink, snack or meal. The best known example, though far larger than most, is the Banqueting House on Whitehall, once part of Whitehall Palace. This is a grand dining hall for full formal meals, and what may be called in distinction a banqueting hall. Such buildings were created in various settings, for example at Cholmley House next to Whitby Abbey, which had been converted into a country house. Most banqueting houses fitted at most twenty people, and many fewer. Its contemporary Italian equivalent was a casina. * Hardwick Hall, built 1590–97, has six banqueting houses on the top of the towers, reached only across the roof leads * The banqueting house at Hampton Court Palace * Wrest Park Banqueting House, Thomas Archer, 1711 (en)

Essa poteva essere costruita anche sulla terrazza del tetto di un palazzo d'abitazione come in molte case prodigio del XVI secolo. La posizione sopraelevata poteva essere dovuta alla vista che vi si poteva godere, e poteva disporre anche di una propria cucina come nel caso di quella del Palazzo di Hampton Court o di , e poteva essere riccamente decorata; di norma non conteneva stanze da letto ed era composta da uno spazio grande e ammobiliato in maniera essenziale e funzionale. L'architettura era spesso ornamentale se non addirittura fantastica, ed alcune banqueting house erano anche dei capricci come nel caso della . Solitamente le banqueting house erano strutture con molte finestre, per apprezzare la vista all'esterno e per dare ampia luminosità agli spazi, con un'unica grande porta d'ingresso; le aree di servizio si trovavano sul retro. In Inghilterra il termine "banquet" aveva due distinti significati: in primo luogo un pasto grandioso e formale (nelsenso attuale del termine), ma anche un pranzo leggero che però si teneva in un luogo particolare. Nei banchetti più grandi, la banqueting house era tipicamente utilizzata per consumare i dessert dopo aver cenato nella sala da pranzo dell'abitazione principale. In alri casi poteva essere utilizzata nelle belle giornate come luogo ove prendere il tè o per fare merende o colazioni leggere. L'esempio più noto e certamente una delle più grandi è la Banqueting House di Whitehall, a Londra, un tempo parte del Palazzo di Whitehall. In questo caso si tratta di una grande sala da pranzo per banchetti ufficiali, ma potevano esservi esempi più semplici come nei pressi dell'abbazia di Whitby, che venne poi convertita in casa di campagna. La maggior parte delle banqueting houses potevano ospitare almeno 20 persone contemporaneamente. In Italia, una struttura equivalente fu quella della casina. * Hardwick Hall, costruita nel 1590-1597, disponeva di ben sei banqueting houses all'altezza dei tetti, raggiungibili tramite essi * La banqueting house del Palazzo di Hampton Court * La banqueting house di , progettata da Thomas Archer nel 1711 (it)
