WEDDINGS
YOUR SPECIAL DAY
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 inside for those spring/summer weddings. It also has 2 open fires, as well as heated and covered booths in the garden, so you and your guests can stay warm and cosy in the Winter months. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly venue, love is love and we love to celebrate it!
