When the garden is so big, 150 guests look like a small crowd 🪩✨
Throwing it back to earlier this year, when the sun was shining ☀️ and we had the absolute pleasure of hosting Jack & Ellen’s wedding reception! 🥂🤍
With a guest list full of love, a garden full of happy faces and DJ decks bringing all the festival vibes, the party was in full swing from start to finish! 🎶💃🏼🕺🏻
Everyone had the best time, and we’re so grateful you chose us to be part of such a special day. Can we do it all again, please?! 🥹🥰

POV: You had the honour of hosting the most beautiful wedding during the May heatwave 💍☀️

There really is nothing more special than watching two people celebrate the start of their forever, and we feel incredibly grateful to have been part of this unforgettable day.
To the most wonderful couple, thank you for trusting us with such an important chapter of your lives. From our very first planning meeting, to creating a menu that reflected your love for our Scotch Eggs and Sunday Roasts, and finally seeing everything come together so beautifully, every moment was a privilege.

This was the first of two beautiful weddings we’ve hosted this year, and we’re so excited to already have more weddings in the diary for 2027. If you’re dreaming of your perfect venue, we’d love to help bring your vision to life. ✨
