feast halls
Medieval dining rooms
Feast halls are large rooms or buildings designed for communal eating and celebration, especially in medieval or ancient settings.
The term evokes images of long wooden tables, roaring fires, and gathered warriors or nobles sharing food and drink: The king welcomed his thanes in the feast hall.
In fantasy literature and gaming, feast halls appear as central gathering places in castles and villages.
