We are a rustic barn venue with a traditional hop hung pub and extensive country gardens. Your civil ceremony may take place in either the atmospheric, majestic barn or under our hedgerow gazebo in the garden, our ancient weeping willow forming a natural photographic backdrop. As an independent family business we offer an individual relaxed planning process to your unique wedding, being flexible in our offerings yet taking the stress of much of the planning away from you. Our catering is provided in house, our bars in both barn and pub fully stocked and staffed and our staff are on hand to guide you through.

The most perfect venue

“Had our wedding at this beautiful barn venue, and it was perfect! The staff was attentive and thoughtful, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The venue’s rustic charm made for stunning photos, and the food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by all. Couldn’t have asked for a better day!”

The perfect wedding day!!!

My husband and I got married at the Plough in August the year. We honestly had the best day of our lives. Everything was just perfect. The staff at the Plough were amazing from the beginning to the end, they made us feel relaxed and at ease. All of the guests commented on how tasty the food was and how lovely the venue and staff were. We even had our little dog join us for the day!! Our son and niece had the time of their lives as they were happy playing in the garden and dancing in the barn!! We used the house DJ and CS creative events to decorate the Plough (both recommended by the venue), they were both faultless and amazing and the barn looked stunning!! I would highly recommend having your wedding here!

The dream team

We wanted to thank you again for all the magic you worked, not just on the day but throughout all our planning. We were made to feel so welcome and looked after every time we came to visit. And we are in complete awe of the smooth running behind the scenes to set everything up, and ensure our day ran exactly how we'd imagined (even with secret surprise messages from Shirley Ballas!). Nobody wanted the party to end! You really are the dream team and we can't wait to come back for a visit!

Better than imaginable!

I have no words to express how wonderful and perfect our wedding was on Saturday. Everything was better than we could even imagine. Thank you for making it look like a dream! The barn looked so gorgeous, you did a fantastic job at decorating every corner of it. We really got so many compliments on the barn and the venue itself! We couldn’t be more happy to have chosen you to celebrate our special day.

The Bride & Groom had a lovely day!

Our daughter Nicola had her wedding reception at the Plough and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we were. Numerous guests commented on the lovely food, exceptional quality & plentiful. All of the serving and bar team were helpful and friendly. The venue was beautiful and set up just the way Nicola and Jim asked. Special thanks to Della who dealt with Nicola’s many questions in a patient and efficient way. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Plough to other couples.

The most beautiful venue!

Choosing The Plough as our wedding venue has been the best decision we made! We knew we wanted a barn as our wedding setting, with some lovely outdoor space and lots of green. And the Plough has just that and so much more! From the first meeting with Hazel to all the subsequent ones with Della and Becky, they have been nothing but helpful and accommodating, and most importantly, they understood completely our vision for the big day, and they did an incredible job at making it all come to life just the way we dreamed it would look! We got so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue looked and how absolutely delicious the food was. Since we had our menu testing we knew it was going to be a hit! I cannot recommend them enough, the most beautiful venue, with a stunning rustic and cozy barn and a beautiful garden! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone at the Plough who made our day unforgettable!

Incredible day

Della and Becky were great at accomodating us, with timings (both early and late) communication and reassurance. The Plough is a gorgeous place to celebrate a marriage rain or shine. The barn is stunning and the food has been complimented by all of my family since. Would highly recommend!
