Wedding venue hire at Chef & Brewer: Our frequently asked questions
What should I look for in the perfect wedding venue?
The perfect venue should fit perfectly into your colour scheme, proposed size and overall aesthetic of your wedding, as well as surroundings that suit you and your personality perfectly. You should also think about logistics, where your guests will need to travel from, whether you want added flexibility to customise the setting and how much budget you want to earmark for your perfect wedding venue hire.
What information do I need to provide?
We don't expect you to have all the details to hand straight away, but rough idea of guest numbers, and if you are considering one of our pubs with hotels the number of rooms you require are both beneficial to help us find a date to suit you. You might also want to tell us a little about what entertainment you might like for your reception, as well as your ideal food menu for us to be able to put together a package for you to review.
Can you provide options for guests with dietary requirements?
Yes absolutely! From seasonal specials and great deals to pub classics enjoyed all year round, our Chefs love to create delicious food for everyone. We always have a great selection of dishes for vegans and vegetarians, and are more than happy to accommodate guests with allergies or dietary requirements.
How far in advance should I book?
With wedding venue hire, the earlier you book the better, and the greater number of dates you will have to choose from. If you want to quickly check a date, feel free to give our pub teams a call and they'll be more than happy to check availability for you.
Can I come and visit beforehand?
Our doors are always open and a warm welcome is always waiting.
