We held our wedding at The Garden Bar and had the most wonderful time. Megan and Tom were so helpful and easy to work with and genuinely did their best to make our day feel special. The food and cocktails were delish with lots of our guests commenting on them and the venue space is devine. Would definitely recommend to anyone for either their event or just to visit for a meal. We’ll be back for our anniversary 😊

Megan and her team at the garden bar went above and beyond for our wedding in March! Everything from communication leading up to the day, setting up the spaces for us, and making sure everything was running smoothly was all sorted by the team. I always felt reassured and confident that they were going to do an amazing job and they did! Our day was better than we could have imagined. The food was delicious, the view was stunning, beautiful photography locations in the brine room and old cheese factory and Megan and her whole team were always friendly and helpful. It’s an amazing venue and I highly recommend to anyone getting married!
