feast hall
Medieval dining room
A feast hall is a large room or building for communal meals and celebrations, especially in medieval or fantasy contexts.
The term evokes images of long wooden tables, roaring fires, and raucous gatherings: The warriors returned to the feast hall after battle.
In historical settings, the feast hall served as the social center of a castle or manor.
