Right from the start Alison and the team really listened to what we wanted and more than delivered We wanted an evening reception for around 50 people but for it have an informal dinner party feel. The team came up with a plan for canapés and fizz on arrival, a 2-course meal and then cheese. We were given the option of 4 different main courses for our guests to choose from, the 4 suggestions were perfect but we also had the option to change them. The day itself was amazing. We arrived to find the pub ready for us; fizz was served along with tasty canapés, really imaginative. We then had the use of the 2 large upstairs dining rooms, they were decorated beautifully. One was set up as a dining room and it looked stunning, the tables were all decorated with flowers / candles etc. Not wanting a formal table plan all the place cards (beautifully hand written) were placed in the other room for our guests to pick up and place at their choice of table. The main course was then served followed by dessert, we divide against a wedding cake opting instead for a cake made of cheese, the pub had lead this out beautifully in the other room along with crackers, pickles and chutneys. We have had so comments on how enjoyable the wedding was, the food and wine brilliant and the setting was perfect. To sum up our reception, well…. brilliant. We had a totally relaxed evening knowing that everything was in the hands of the professionals! The attention to detail and care taken over our reception was exceptional. All we can say is, THANK YOU to Alison, the Landlady, Chef Alex and Laura the Manager and the rest of the team.Right from the start Alison and the team really listened to what we wanted and more than delivered We wanted an evening reception for around 50 people but for it have an informal dinner party feel.
