Services Offered

The team at The Abinger Hatch do things a little differently from other venues. Depending on the day, you will be told a minimum spend you must cover. This is simply calculated from what the pub would, on average, take on that given day. The spend will vary and be higher during peak season (April-September) and on peak days (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays & Bank Holidays). Still, typically it ranges from £4,000-£15,000 throughout the year for exclusive use. All food and drink for your wedding day contribute to meeting the minimum spend required, including your guests purchasing drinks at a cash bar.

Only have a limited budget? Don't worry! The Abinger Hatch has hosted weddings of a variety of budgets and sizes and is very flexible. Tell them what your dream wedding is and let them help make it happen!
