  Please go elsewhere

  We had our wedding here in June and it was a wonderful day because we have wonderful friends and family, it was brilliant having everyone together and the other suppliers were great.
  We had booked Ox Pasture after our first venue became unsuitable.
  
  They do have some very hardworking staff, who are obviously trying to keep things afloat in difficult circumstances. The grounds are beautiful, just unkempt.
  
  When we initially booked I queried the pricing with the owner Shaun as it was obvious there was no clear pricing structure. He sent an absolutely appalling email back to me. Ultimately saying our old venue was garbage compared to Ox Pasture. If this is the way he speaks to a customer holding a wedding here, I can only imagine how he speaks to the staff.
  We went through 3 contacts at the venue, Claire (who left a few weeks prior to the wedding), Kia (who was sacked the day before our wedding) and Lynsey.
  We had been told we could set up the day before but none of the decorations from the previous weddding has been cleared away. The tables weren't ready for me to put down my decorations. Lynsey ultimately told me to calm down but did nothing in the way of helping the situation. I was chasing her to prepare the top table for about 2 hours, so that we could be done and enjoy the rest of the evening.
  
  On the day of the wedding the groomsmen had to put the chairs outside (and back inside), the ceremony ran half an hour late due to the venue. I was about to walk down the aisle with my mum when Lynsey approached me and said that she had organised the confetti throw for the front of the property. Going against what I'd discussed with the venue, to have the confetti down the aisle. I complained about this at the time and she did not take no for an answer.
  
  Other things of note: the bridesmaids had to tell people where the reception drinks were in the absence of staff, guests received incorrect desserts, guests only received one glass of wine with the meal when we'd paid for two (embarrassing that we looked so stingy).They didn't play our song to introduce us to the room. We didn't have WiFi or phone signal so I couldn't coordinate with suppliers. They wanted us to pay to use the spa when we'd spent thousands on a wedding booking. They ignored all my emails in the week before the wedding. They didn't have a record of our (bride and groom) room booking a week before the wedding.
  
  I do believe in speaking to the company first before leaving reviews. I sent them an email a week after the wedding with feedback and this was ignored.
  
  It is unfortunate that they give the impression that they can take on wedding bookings when there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. For reference, we had just under 70 guests. Please disregard this venue for your wedding day.

  Superb Wedding

  We just had our wedding here at Ox Pasture Hall
  Ox pasture Hall did a fantastic job in helping us organise and execute the day.
  From champagne arrival, set outside to take advantage of the unexpectedly good weather to the beautiful grounds.
  
  The dovecote suit venue is perfectly sized and the waiting staff did a great job of serving food promptly and efficiently. The even coped when 2 vegetarian meals were requested last second!
  
  The food was delicious and the space was set up brilliantly.
  
  All in all, I'd recommend ox pasture to anyone and everyone.

  Super Wedding Venue

  Stayed here for one night for a friends wedding. We had a lovely room at the rear over looking the lake.
  
  Room was spacious clean and had a modern bathroom. Bed was very comfy.
  
  The food during the wedding was one of the best cuts of meet I've had at any venue. Breakfast was very nice too and cooked to order meaning it was fresh.
  
  Bar staff were efficient and prices reasonable.

  Stunning Wedding

  Wow. Where do we start?! From the moment we first ever saw Ox Pasture we knew it was our dream place to get married.
  It was literally the perfect day! Our room was beautiful, along with all our guests, the reception room was just as we imagine and all the staff did an amazing job helping to make it the style we wanted. The food... the food was literally the best we have had at any hotel/venue & I've stayed in 5 star hotels... all our guests are still saying how amazing the food alone was... and this is 2 months later! We were lucky enough to be able to get married outside under the gazebo & it was like we were getting married in Italy, the scenery & layout of the guests seating was just simply beautiful. The whole day was extremely relaxing, enjoyable & beautiful.
  We will be visiting just to have a cup of tea and some lunch in the main hotel restaurant as the food in there itself is amazing... the visit is worth the 280 mile trip we can't wait to go back! I can not recommend Ox pasture enough. Please, please please if you are looking to get married here then go for a visit & I can guarantee you will book. truly a lovely.

  Amazing venue for our Big Day!

  We got married at Ox Pasture last month, the beautiful setting and gorgeous venue made our day truly perfect.
  We would highly recommend to couples wanting a beautiful venue who want to create a unique wedding (there is even room for helicopters to land, if like my husband,you want to arrive in style!)
  We had many guests comment on how good the wedding breakfast was & in fact all the food we have experienced at Ox Pasture has been superb.
  Our suite was a really gorgeous room and situated at the back of the property, very peaceful also.

  Wedding Guest

  We recently stayed in this beautiful hotel for a friends wedding.
  Was very impressed on arrival with the hotel and it's impressive grounds. We were greeted by the General Manager who was very friendly and inviting.
  The wedding went without hitch and was just beautiful. The staff were very busy but nothing was too much trouble for any of them and I have to commend them on their impeccable service.
  We were so impressed with the hotel, grounds,food, service and staff that we have decided to make a return visit.
  Thank you again to Ox Pasture Hall for making our stay and the wedding seem straight out of a fairytale.
  Highly recommended
