Colourful, fun, relaxed venue for a wedding
We loved Grub so much we planned our wedding a year earlier than intended to make sure we could use them! After getting engaged at Christmas 2023 we went to a wedding fayre at Grub in January 2024 and immediately fell in love with the place. At the time they weren't booking weddings beyond 2024 so after a quick discussion, my partner and I took the plunge and grabbed a date in July before it was gone! It was absolutely the best decision we could have made. Working with Caro and Grub was such a smooth process and they were always available for questions or advice. It's such a cool venue with oodles of personality and colours with super fun graphic photo spots! All of our guests absolutely loved the relaxed vibe and all the staff looked after us so well. Huge thanks especially go to Caro however who made our day go so smoothly, they were always there to grab us a prosecco, check in with us and keep us on schedule. We had several dietary requirements as well as a lot of kids and the team were so accommodating and made all the kids feel so welcome! I've seen they are now taking bookings for 2025 and we'd recommend you get in quick! 💙

Amazing - absolutely perfect
We knew when we went to Grub that it was ‘the One’. The team were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful. Everything was perfect. Caro was brilliant and made sure the night was like a dream.

The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming
Attended a wedding at Grub. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating, friendly and helpful. The venue was brilliant for a wedding with nothing indoor and outdoor space. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Thank you Grub for making it a very special day.

Far far above and beyond
GRUB absolutely made our day by going far far above and beyond. Our day just wouldn’t have been the special day we hoped it would be without their hard work. Special shout out to the GM, Sophie!

Great venue to work with
This was my first time working at Grub as a photographer, hopefully it won't be my last, what a great venue! The staff were so helpful and really looked after me. Great communication and a lot of fun to work at. Plus it's a REALLY cool spot for photography, even on a really rainy day (the rain didn't stop that day!).

Please thank your staff from us, they were amazing
We had a fantastic day and Grub was everything we wanted. Our guests loved it and commented on how unique the place was so that’s a massive success. Thank you for all your help with this and please thank your staff from us, they were amazing. Especial mention to your Italian bartender, my family said she was lovely and they were so grateful they could communicate.

Last minute wedding venue change
We were getting married in May and felt a bit let down with our chosen venue to a point where we decided to drop couple of emails around to see if anywhere else we liked could accommodate us with a very short notice. Jules from GRUB to the rescue! Honestly she’s a true superstar along with the rest of the staff who made our day incredible. Everything was how we wanted and there was no stress, so we could just enjoy the day. All of our guests commented on how super special it was, the venue and the food got a lot of compliments. Our little daughter loves it there too so we have booked some tables for her birthday party in couple of weeks
