Description

The Stone Trough Inn - A Wedding That’s So You!

The Stone Trough Inn isn’t your typical wedding venue, and that’s exactly the point. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the romantic ruins of Kirkham Priory, with sweeping views of the Howardian Hills, it’s the kind of place where unforgettable moments just happen naturally.

This charming country pub has all the character couples are looking for, a glass-roofed terrace that catches every drop of summer sun, roaring fires for cosy winter weddings, and a relaxed rustic vibe that never tries too hard. Every corner feels special, and every celebration is completely unique.

What sets The Stone Trough Inn apart is its flexibility. Fully licensed for indoor and outdoor ceremonies, it offers a choice of beautiful spaces, from intimate dining in the snug to candlelit feasts in the restaurant or a full venue takeover for a celebration that goes all out.

Behind every detail is the venue’s dedicated wedding consultant, who works closely with each couple to bring their vision to life. Whether it’s a formal sit-down meal, a relaxed BBQ, elegant canapés, or a mix of everything, she’s passionate about creating a day that reflects who the couple really are, no rigid packages, no one-size-fits-all.

The Stone Trough Inn is where laid-back charm meets bespoke celebrations, a place where weddings are done your way, beautifully.

A perfect experience right from the start
From the moment we walked into the venue to make the first enquiry, to the moment we left on the wedding day, everything was exactly as we wanted it. We had a very clear idea of what we wanted, and nothing was too much bother. Their wedding specialist was great throughout, and was very receptive to what we wanted. She wasnt overbearing or pushy at all, and we genuinely felt they cared more about making our day special than the bottom line . Other venues we had approached definitely didnt recognise this. The chef was amazing, and the food top notch. The attention to detail, and the service throughout couldnt have been better. A big thank you to all involved for adding to our special day, and removing the stress, and making it a memorable occasion for all the right reasons. 5 stars isnt enough.

The best from start to finish
Our wedding was the most perfect day thank you to The Stone Trough Inn. Philippa ensured everything ran incredibly smoothly and our vision was perfectly executed. The food was incredible. The staff were amazing. And of course, the views and setting is just stunning. The ideal venue!!!

The perfect setting for a wedding!
The Stone Trough Inn hosted our daughter and son-in-law's wedding yesterday and we couldn't be happier with the venue and the First Class service provided by their staff team from start to finish. (Apologies for not remembering all their names). Phillipa met with them ahead of the big day to find out what special touches would make the celebration of their wedding, truly personalised to them. And on the day itself, being present to make sure everything ran to plan - and it did! The efficient team made sure everyone was catered for with excellent service, they were all so attentive and friendly, and professional. The three course Wedding Breakfast was delivered to an exceptionally high standard, it was delicious and filling. They catered to a variety of dietary needs, making sure everyone had the same fantastic dining experience. Served in the conservatory which was opened up as we were blessed with glorious weather. The venue is very accessible, just a short drive from the A64. However, as it's surrounded by hills, the setting is peaceful and without traffic noise. As the name suggests, the venue is a beautiful, rustic stone country pub, nestled amongst rolling hills with stunning views which you can enjoy from the picnic tables to the front of the pub. And, just around the corner from Kirkham Abbey, next to the river Derwent, which offers the most romantic backdrop to your wedding photos. The ambience was relaxed and intimate, a home from home to celebrate with family and friends. The venue can cater for over a hundred guests. The bar was well stocked and well staffed. From 6pm, we were able to occupy the whole pub, which gave us a choice of cosy corners, with stone floors and wooden beams throughout, to sit and chat whilst the more energetic guests partied enthusiastically. The isolated setting meant that we were able to have a very lively disco, in the conservatory, until midnight. There is a large car park where one couple were even able to park their mobile home, making it very convenient. All the guests commented on the beautiful venue and say they hope to return soon, I know we certainly will! I can't recommend this venue enough.

A wonderful day in the perfect location
If you are looking for that extra something for your special day, the Stone Trough Inn is definitely a venue to consider. The idyllic country pub has everything to offer and nothing is too much for the wonderful staff to make your special day perfect for you. We hired the whole pub (closing it to the general public) which allowed our wedding party the use of all the rooms to relax and enjoy our day. Like all married couples would say, our day was perfect. But it really was. From the first enquiry to the day its self, nothing was too much hassle for the staff. They kept in contact regularly in the build up, answered any questions we had, offered ideas and suggestions and set everything up for us on the morning, exactly how we imagined it would be, so we could relax and spend the morning getting ready. The food was incredible. We had a wonderful BBQ and salad/rice sides for our wedding meal with ice creams for desserts and then chip butties later on in the evening. The food was fresh and homemade, there was a fantastic choice for everyone and the staff kept all the food topped up. They catered for everyone, we had diary and gluten allergies, vegetarians and vegans in our wedding party and their food was clear labelled with cute little flags. We had our ceremony in the conservatory on the side, which allows you to have the windows and roof open if the weather is warm. This is a quaint place with a beautiful view of a country side and a perfect place to sit and enjoy the day. The pub and countryside background made for the perfect wedding photos and having Kirkham Abbey a short walk way, is an added bonus. (If you make a small donation to them, they will allow you into the ground to take photos)

Food and Service was fantastic.
We came to The Stone Trough Inn for our friend's birthday yesterday whilst staying up in Yorkshire and I just wanted to say we all thought the food and service was fantastic. Massive compliments to the chef. The food was absolutely to die for and was by far the best we'd had in ages. Also, my friend was very pleased with her bowl of birthday custard... Thank you for having us. I wish we were more local so we could come back sooner! Chloe

Friendly, chatty staff and very good food!
A great countryside pub, serving three cask ales from Yorkshire breweries. Friendly, chatty staff and very good food. I had the ploughman's lunch which was excellent. Well worth a visit if you're passing close to Kirkham Abbey.
