About

The nine-acre Pythouse Estate is located in South Wiltshire’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It includes two spectacular venues linked by a beautiful tree-lined avenue and an ancient stone bridge. Pythouse Kitchen Garden offers couples a full-service wedding experience defined by natural beauty and underpinned by wonderful hospitality. The team also has exclusive access to neighbouring Hatch House, which is fully licensed for civil ceremonies.

Couples have several options for their ceremony. Hatch House, just a short walk from Pythouse Kitchen Garden, is licensed for civil ceremonies and offers elegant formal gardens for exchanging vows. Alternatively, blessings or non-traditional ceremonies can take place within the walled garden itself. The team is available to guide couples through both locations.

A wedding reception at Pythouse Kitchen Garden is defined by its enchanting garden surroundings and exceptional hospitality. Guests can enjoy seasonal produce from the garden while celebrating in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.

Pythouse Kitchen Garden’s magical glamping village is tucked away in the beautiful, secluded orchard at the bottom of the walled garden. This unique on-site accommodation option can accommodate up to 24 wedding guests, and there is space to pitch extra tents if necessary. Guests can retire to the glamping orchard at midnight and continue the party into the small hours.

The glamping village is fully equipped, romantically lit at night, and furnished to a very high standard. It consists of six cosy bell tents with comfy beds and fresh linen, a large covered party or family dining area, a well-equipped kitchenette, a breakfast and cocktail bar, very smart WCs, and piping hot showers.

The delightful Shepherd’s Hut makes a wonderful marital boudoir with its sumptuous double bed, ensuite safari-style shower, and WC. The Hut and glamping area are available to your guests from the day before your wedding until checkout (i.e., Friday to Sunday).

There is also a fantastic selection of hotels and B&Bs locally and the team can provide contact details on request.

Pythouse Kitchen Garden’s restaurant team ensures wedding menus are as exceptional as the setting. Led by head chef Darren Broom, the kitchen delivers outstanding dishes made with the freshest ingredients. Every detail is thoughtfully planned, whether catering for an intimate meal or a larger wedding. Couples are invited to sample the menu and meet the team to tailor their dining experience.

Sustainability is at the heart of Pythouse Kitchen Garden. The venue’s menus highlight ingredients grown in its own three-acre garden, ensuring a deep connection to the land. The team has earned a Green Michelin Star, Bib Gourmand, three-star ‘Food Made Good’ rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association and carefully selects suppliers who share their commitment to ethical sourcing.

Pythouse Kitchen Garden is on a quiet country lane between Tisbury and Semley. A five-minute drive away, Tisbury train station offers direct services from London Waterloo. The venue is approximately 1.5 hours by car from London, 45 minutes from Bath, and 50 minutes from Poole.

Incredible!

I can’t recommend PKG enough, we had the most perfect wedding here, all of the staff are incredible and they worked tirelessly to make our day the best! Laura, the wedding coordinator made things run so smoothly and was so patient with all of our questions! The food is incredible and the drinks are delicious! The venue itself is absolutely perfect, the gardens are beautiful and so well maintained.

We used the glamping pods which were so spacious and pretty! It makes the dream wedding venue!

Simply Stunning Wedding Venue

My wife and I were lucky enough to hold our wedding at PKG after having stumbled upon and instantly fallen in love with it the previous year. We were even luckier to have one of the sunniest summer days to really bring out the very best of this stunning location. The look and feel of the place were exactly what we were looking for. It’s a beautiful location, a great restaurant set in a working 18th century walled garden, and far from a typical wedding venue. The fact that as much of the produce as possible is grown on-site was also a huge bonus.

We chose Garden Boards for our starter, and Pytfire banquet for main. This included whole sides of salmon, roasted rib of beef, pork and a delicious selection of roasted vegetables, all of this cooked outside, in front of the guests, followed by Eton Mess for dessert. The food was superb and worked very well for close to 150 guests. You can try the Pytfire at the venue on the first Saturday of every month, I think, which we did before our event - delicious.

Piers, the owner, was in charge of the Pytfire roasting. He and the rest of the kitchen, waiting and bar staff were top notch. We have had numerous compliments on food, service and the whole day. Piers and Sophie, who runs the wedding-day planning, were both absolutely excellent throughout the whole process. The multi-talented Sophie made two fantastic bouquets for the mothers of the bride and groom, 10 button holes and bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids. These were spectacular, and made entirely from Pythouse seasonal flowers.

I don’t think we could recommend this venue highly enough. A huge thank you to Piers and his very talented team, you should be very proud!

Dear Sophie

Sophie, you are wonderful!

The day was brilliant and Pythouse lived up to our expectations - the serving of the yummy canapés and wine on the lawn amid the lovely greenery and flowers. Prettily dressed table setting and beautifully orchestrated service from your able, polite and charming staff. The food was delicious and plenty on offer. The cake and centrepiece looked so pretty and just what we had in mind.

Amid twinkling lights and glowing lanterns we danced the night away and the glampers happily glamped, nourished with the midnight snack and pitfire to keep them warm.

Our friends thought that it was a most amazing and delightful setting and we appreciate yours and Piers’ efforts to make us feel welcome.

With very many thanks to you all,

David and Susie, Rachel and Leo
