A dining area is a room for consuming food. Today it will always be adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was often on an completely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most typical shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even range of un-armed side chairs along the long sides.In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor homes dined in the fantastic hall. This was a sizable multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The grouped family would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Furniture in the fantastic hall would have a tendency to be long trestle dining tables with benches. The large number of men and women in a Great Hall meant it would probably have had a active, bustling atmosphere.
