    Happy ever after

    We chose The Cock Hotel as our wedding venue, and I couldn’t be more grateful to the entire team for making our special day truly perfect. It was an intimate event for our closest friends and family, with a total of 50 guests, including us.

    From the lovely ladies serving breakfast, who were so kind and supportive when I was feeling nervous and offered words of encouragement, to the lad behind the bar, the cleaners, the wonderful gentleman setting the tables the night before, the lady at reception, and the coordinators, Sara and Tim – what an incredible team! (We’re sorry we don’t remember everyone’s names, but we hope you know who you are, as we will never forget each of you.) We cannot forget the kitchen staff, as the food was beautiful and delicious. The vegan and vegetarian guests were so grateful, and those with food allergies had their needs managed with extra care. Thank you so much!

    Sara was an angel from the very beginning. Over the course of a year, she patiently answered my countless questions and embraced all of our ambitious ideas. We even had the opportunity to decorate the room the night before after a last-minute cancellation of the event scheduled that evening, which was extremely helpful.

    Though Sara couldn’t be there on the day, Tim stepped in and was outstanding as the Master of Ceremonies. He handled last-minute issues with remarkable calmness, always with a smile on his face. There was nothing he couldn’t sort out for us, even during a busy bank holiday weekend with the hotel fully booked.

    Every member of staff we encountered, both during the day and evening, was an absolute delight, making us and our families feel incredibly welcome.

    Based on the incredible experience we had with all staff, we wouldn’t give them anything less than 5 stars, as they truly deserve it.

    If you’re considering The Cock Hotel for your event, I wholeheartedly recommend it. I’d choose it again 100 times over. We felt special, unique, and will carry the wonderful memories of the day with us for a lifetime.

    To Sara and Tim, our heartfelt thanks for your professionalism and attention to detail. We will be forever grateful.

    Best wishes,
    Jackie & Joe

    The venue to make your dreams come true!

    My groom and I had the pleasure of having our wedding at The Cock Hotel on Saturday 29th June 2024, and we can't recommend it enough. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Sara, Tim, Zoe and Jo, who went above and beyond to make the day so very special for everyone. The food was delicious and plentiful and the venue was spacious and full of charm and character. We were also very lucky with the weather, which was perfect and the hotel had a lovely courtyard for the guests of all ages to enjoy. It was very convenient to have everything under one roof, from the ceremony to the reception to the accommodation. The Cock Hotel is a great place for a wedding or any other celebration and in our opinion, was good value for money. Thank you from Nicola & Gary White

    The Cock Hotel's reply:

    Fantastic location, day and staff

    From attending the wedding fair to our amazing day we can't say how great everything was.
    Very easy to book and Sara supported us with meetings and calls along the way helping with planning and special menus without fault.
    The venue looked amazing and all the staff did a great job running around behind the scenes to ensure everything went without a hitch.

    The whole day was amazing and we highly recommend The Cock Hotel thank you so much.

    I have no words just simply PERFECT

    Wow where do I begin!
    I had my wedding here on 30/09/2022
    Despite covid postponing the wedding Sara went above and beyond to ensure we still had our perfect day and we did eventually

    All the staff was amazing but most of all Darren! No ask was too much for him on the day he made myself and my guests feel very comfortable and he handled the whole wedding from start to finish
    Without Darren our day wouldn’t of been as relaxed as it was so Thankyou so much!
    The food was delicious!
    The turn around for the marquee room to change from ceremony to reception was done efficiently and looked fabulous

    Thankyou to you all and will look forward to returning next year for our anniversary

    Best Wedding ever

    WEE HAD OUR WEDDING DELAYED FROM 2020, unlike some parties, but the hotel kept with us, with no changes to prices or experience .

    We had the best experience at a wedding with many guests saying it was the the best party/wedding that they had ever been too. We loved the day and it will be with us forever, everything went to plan thanks to Sarah and Darren and the team at the Cock hotel

    Our Wedding

    We used the Cock Hotel for our wedding venue from vows to wedding reception and we loved every second of it. The day is held in their dedicated reception room with the end wall being exposed stone and roof beams, there is also a dedicated bar so there is no need for the guests to leave the reception room. Darren and Sara helped up plan the big day from beginning to end and have a few different menu and drinks packages, they also had a trusted list events teams who were also very professional and accommodating with budgets to suit all. We would highly recommend that you use Darren as the Master of the Ceremony as he knows how ton run a tight schedule as timing is very important when you have a fairly large guest list. We would also recommend having pictures taken in front of the old barn too as this looks lovely in photos. All the waiting staff and the rest of the team in the background were also fantastic. All in all, we had a fantastic day and our guests also fed back that they had a great day too. We had a no stress and the only hitch was when we said “I do” We would highly recommend to anyone who in planning a wedding, or indeed an anniversary.

    The Cock Hotel's reply:

    Congratulations to you both to you both!!
