The Buttery and Glasshouse at The Bull Hotel Full Description
It’s a luxury that won’t cost you any extra
Forget the pressure to set up the venue on your wedding day. Forget driving away at midnight after partying. Forget looking for accommodation for your nearest and dearest. Indulge yourself on a 48-hour venue hire starting with the setting-up the day before until the farmhouse style full English breakfast for the newlyweds and their guests the day after the wedding.
Your own 14th century country inn
With the Buttery, terrace and Glasshouse to use, plus the bar and restaurant space in the Bull Hotel and 11 bedrooms including the honeymoon suite all for you on your wedding day.
You know the venue, the faces are all familiar and the staff know how you like your morning coffee. The Bull will become your second home and the whole team will know your family and their favourite drinks. Gracing the corridors in slippers, robes and face masks, nobody bats an eyelid, which is the indulgence of getting married in your own country inn. It really does become your home for those 48 hours.
Welcome to any wedding size
Did you have different numbers in mind? Do you prefer a weekday wedding? Is a Sunday wedding your dream date? What about extending it to a whole bank holiday weekend?

Best day and excellent service
What an amazing wedding we had on 4th October 2023.
From the first time we dropped in for a drink to take a look at The Bull Hotel, to our initial meeting, to the wonderful wedding open day visit with family, to our actual wedding, the staff and service has been fantastic.
We didn’t want a DJ or sit down 3 course meal including wine. Nothing was too much trouble. We used their wedding packages as a guide, discussed everything at our initial meeting and they gave us a bespoke price for exactly the elements we wanted.
We were blessed with great weather for October. Our civil ceremony was at 4.30pm in the Buttery, with cocktails and canapés on the terrace and a delicious smokehouse buffet in the glasshouse, followed by cakes and a sweetie table.
For entertainment we decided to have a caricaturist The Artful Doodler and magic and mind reading by Robert Fox.
Despite being a Wednesday family and friends decided to book all the rooms and we gathered together for a delicious breakfast the next morning.
The Glasshouse and Buttery is a fabulous all year round wedding venue that is light and airy and gets a 10 out of 10 for service, location, comfort and the best cosmopolitan cocktails 🍸

Our dream venue, food, team and day!
The Buttery and Glasshouse is stunning, and I honestly can't imagine us having got married anywhere else now! We didn't see another venue that was anything like as special as this - the spaces, surroundings, and design are all gorgeous and provide a really flexible setting for whatever kind of wedding you're envisaging. You can style it in so many ways, but it's also really beautiful even without tons of added decoration.
The food was out of this world - multiple guests have said it was one of the best meals of their life! We really wanted excellent food without having the wedding anywhere really formal or exclusive, and it honestly couldn’t have been better than it was. We also had a delicious evening buffet and next morning breakfast which was all amazing too.
We were just blown away by how wonderful our wedding day was, and so much of that was down to the incredible team at The Buttery and Glasshouse. We worked with Leigh Anne when we first booked our wedding there at the start of this year, and subsequently with Catherine as our wedding coordinator. A month after the big day, we’re missing being in touch with them, as they’d become like friends to us. They couldn’t have done more - they are warm and personable, communicative, and super organised. We had total confidence in their ability to deliver everything we discussed, and also loved that they were so receptive to ideas rather than sticking to a package of limited options. Our day felt so personal and full of joy, largely thanks to the talented people we worked with who made it possible for us to bring our vision to life.
Beyond the coordinators, we found all the staff (Dionne, Emma, everyone!) we interacted with totally competent and so lovely - and it all added to the ease and atmosphere of a beautiful day. We will be grateful to the whole team at The Bull always for the most perfect day that we can't stop talking about!
Response from the venue
Oh Laura and Caroline - what wonderful words - thank you so much for all of your comments! We were so delighted to share in your vision, embrace your ideas and help to create your perfect wedding day.
The whole team work hard here to provide for our couples exactly what you have described, so it's really lovely to see that recognised.
You were both a joy to work with and I'm only sad that we won't get to see you here as regularly, Much love Catherine xx

Beautiful venue, efficient staff, organised and professional coordinators, delicious food and nothing but praise for the care we received both before and during our wedding in March 23. We received so many compliments about the whole day which ran like clockwork and so stress free for us because the staff are amazing!

The most beautiful wedding venue ever
Just a lovely venue, everyone is so helpful and friendly from the first meeting to the wedding day every part of the day was planned and ran smoothly, we have wonderful memories of our day, the buttery atmosphere is romantic and then the drinks reception on the terrace in the sunshine just lets everyone relax and chat, the wedding breakfast is amazing the best meal I’ve had at a wedding ever and it’s served in the glass house which is simply beautiful. The evening was full of dancing and stone baked pizza! The hotel rooms are all unique and guests loved them. I felt so cared for by the wedding planners one even helped me put my dress on, I couldn’t recommend it enough x

We got married at the Bull Hotel
We got married at the Bull Hotel at the end of April and we cannot recommend it as a venue more highly. The venue is perfect if you are looking for somewhere where everything is in one location. The Buttery has a lovely rustic quality for the ceremony while the Glasshouse is light, airy and modern and perfect for the wedding breakfast. Having the pub as well is such an asset as it gives people multiple options in the evening- especially for those who want a sit down and a quieter chat.

The food was exceptional - everything was absolutely delicious. But what makes the Bull such a very special venue that will always remain dear to our hearts is the team. Leigh Anne is quite simply a joy to have as your wedding coordinator. She is one of the loveliest people I have ever met and she and the team will do everything in their power to help create the day you want. We cannot fault our experience with the Bull and we wish them every success for the future as they thoroughly deserve every accolade and award they win!
Response from the venue
Lovely Liz, Thank you so much for your gorgeous words. It was a true honour to be a part of your special day and your review means so much to us. Thank you for choosing our venue and putting all your faith in the team. We are so lucky to work with such wonderful couples like you. Leigh Anne and the wedding team xx
