The perfect Restaurant / Venue for an intimate wedding

This venue made it possible for my dad who has since passed experience and witness our family and my husband's, officially unite. From initial contact owners - Justin, Brendan and their team were very personable, welcoming and professional.
It was honestly one of the best days and felt magic from start to finish. We felt very comfortable and relaxed. The decor makes it feel very intimate and cosy and tied in perfectly with our colour scheme.
The food was so delicious, the service was so attentive and supportive.
All the guests commented on how lovely the venue was, the wedding breakfast food, canapes and the atmosphere of the day.
The weather was unbelievable and the outside courtyard / garden, provided a lovely backdrop for photos - especially golden hour we hope you are prepared for a wave of new regular customers! 🙂 and it's great to know we have somewhere special to return to on anniversaries. Thank you so much x

Best day of our lives

Absolutely perfect in every way.
Justin and Breandan were amazing. Nothing was too much. Friends and family have not stopped talking about the venue.
The restaurant is so be romantic, and the views and sunset you just can’t explain.
The ceremony, the staff, the food was way beyond our expectations.
I can not believe how relaxed we both felt the whole day with the owners looking after us and our every need. Best day ever xxx

An amazing day

We honestly had the most amazing day getting married at the Pig & Whistle! Everything went perfectly, and Justin, Brendan and the team did everything to make the day special. Not only is the venue beautiful, but it was perfectly intimate for sharing our special day with our closest family and friends. The food was absolutely incredible, and all of our guests have said it was the best meal they had ever had at a wedding.
Thank you so much for an amazing day, the Pig & Whistle will always be very special to us
