WEDDING RECEPTIONS

Our 2027 Diary is now open for bookings!

If an old-fashioned extravagant white wedding just isn’t quite your thing and you would prefer a more relaxed, fun, and informal day then this is the perfect indoor and outdoor venue to celebrate your love and marriage with all the special people in your lives. Parquetry floors and sunlit rooms make this charming pub and garden a fantastic backdrop for any wedding theme from rustic to vintage, bohemian to romantic, modern to the alternative – we’ve helped to create them all!

The venue is fully air-conditioned for Spring & Summer weddings, and boasts 2 open fires for the colder months, as well as heated and covered booths in the garden. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly venue, love is love and we love to celebrate it. The huge south-facing garden and pub have been cleverly configured to split into two separate and private spaces for you to choose from. We only hold one wedding at a time so that we can provide the best service possible to you and your guests.
There are NO VENUE HIRE FEES as we operate on a minimum spend basis, with all food and drink costs as well as bar spend on the day counting towards it. Minimum spend amounts vary depending on the day of the week and month of the year, so please get in touch for a quote for your chosen wedding date. Private Hire is available 7 days a week, including outside of the pub’s operating hours.
