We had our wedding at The Wild Thyme and Honey and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Everything from the service to food! The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating for our needs and changes throughout the process and helped to make our day absolutely magical!

Five stars all round

Our wedding reception at Wild Thyme and Honey was an absolute dream come true. With 47 guests, we were seeking an intimate setting, and the venue delivered beyond expectations.
The food was simply incredible, leaving all our guests raving about its deliciousness. Staying overnight at the Number 3 London Road Suite was a delightful experience. The room was thoughtfully laid out, providing all the amenities one could wish for. Breakfast in the room the next morning was another highlight, boasting top-quality ingredients and impeccable service. While the room wasn't included in the venue hire, which would have been more convenient, it didn't detract from the overall wonderful experience.
We were informed early on about the restriction on live music after 8:30 pm unless we booked out all the hotel rooms, which was a bit disappointing, although understandable given the circumstances. However, this led us to discover the joy of a silent disco, transforming what could have been seen as a limitation into a delightful and distinctive feature of our wedding.
Above all, the true stars of the day was Emily, the events manager, Connie her assistant and their team at Wild Thyme and Honey. Their dedication and support throughout the planning process and on the day itself were invaluable. Emily went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making our wedding day truly magical. We cannot thank them enough for their exceptional service and would highly recommend Wild Thyme and Honey to anyone seeking a flawless wedding experience. Five stars all around!

Most perfect day

Our wedding at WT&H was everything we could have wanted. Georgie (our coordinator) was brilliant in making sure our day ran perfectly and made our vision of the day come to life.

We stayed in No3 London Road (the bridal/honeymoon suite) and it was the perfect place to get ready with my bridesmaids - the space has been designed for wedding prep and my make up artist had the perfect natural light. And getting into the hot tub at the end of our day was bliss.

The venue is beautiful, food was incredible, and the staff were lovely. Definitely recommend.

The only thing to be aware of is the price of the B&B rooms for your guests - we booked out the whole B&B to start with because we wanted as many people to stay as possible due to travel. The rooms start at £250 a night and it was too expensive for a lot of our guests, and so the rooms we didn’t use were released back out on general sale - which was fine, we only saw a few people who weren’t part of our wedding and about 10 rooms had been booked by non wedding guests.

The most incredibl wedding! Would highly recommend

We recently had our wedding at The Wild Thyme & Honey and can't recommend it enough, it was everything we imagined and more. Beautiful setting, flawless service, delicious food, the planning and preparation from the team was faultless and the service on the day was seamless. Communication from the team was excellent, we felt so well looked after for the 12m of planning and visited often, we were made to feel so welcome every time we visited. It's a very special place.
