Most amazing wedding venue ever!
The Plough is absolutely beautiful. The staff were wonderful and helpful from start to finish and they did a great job at keeping our day running smoothly without making us feel rushed. The food was amazing! We’ve had a lot of compliments on the food and the venue from all of our guests. We can’t thank the team enough and we’d recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married. We can’t fault the venue at all and we’d do it all again if we could.

Best day of our lives
We had the most magical day so thank you to all the team and staff for the wonderful service, food and venue. We absolutely stuck gold with our luck with the weather as it was crisp blue skies in the middle of October which just made everything even more beautiful.
The process of viewing booking and having our meetings was so easy and streamlined. I’m quite a control freak but I felt so at ease and simply able to enjoy my day with my husband!
We’ve had so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, big and spacious the rooms are. Everything was perfect from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend them enough. The team at The Plough Inn made our day so memorable and perfect. A day truly to be remembered by us all

Our first autumnal wedding of 2023!
We had our wedding here on 1.8.23 and wow! What an amazing day we had! From the moment we booked until the end of our special day communication was fab and it was more perfect that what I imagined it to be. Nothing was ever any trouble. The wedding coordinators were brilliant and answered any question we had at any time. The day went smoothly and all our guests enjoyed the day with nothing but compliments from them. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our day everything we imagined it would be and more
