What a wonderful Place for a wedding

What a wonderful place for a wedding!! From the moment we arrived with the bride we were made to feel so welcome. A beautiful room for the bridal party to get ready.
The ceremony room was beautiful! Following this we had the most delicious canapés!
The brewery tour was a lot of fun with Ros as an incredible guide! Such a lovely touch during the day!
The wedding breakfast followed with the most incredible food!! Pie and mash followed by the most delicious sticky toffee pudding! The waiting team were fabulous and very smiley and helpful.
The evening room was set out perfectly for the Dancing to begin!
There was a great atmosphere and it was lovely to have an outdoor seating area with a heater.
Thank you for helping to make Louisa and Andrew’s day so special! A perfect day that we will treasure for a long time!

The Perfect Venue

Hook Norton Brewery was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. From the initial planning to the big day itself, the team did a fantastic job looking after us and our guests. They did everything they could in order to make our day run smoothly with faultless and attentive service, smiles and happiness. We can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work!

Our family and friends loved the unique venue, and we’re gushing with compliments about the food, especially the canapés! The wonderful Shire Horses were also a huge hit and they even enjoyed a bucket of beer with us!

We chose to have canapés, followed by chicken supreme with seasonal vegetables and the famous Old Hooky sticky toffee pudding for dessert, all of which was super tasty!

It certainly was a day to remember, thank you team Hooky! X
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
