    Our Wedding

    We used the Cock Hotel for our wedding venue from vows to wedding reception and we loved every second of it. The day is held in their dedicated reception room with the end wall being exposed stone and roof beams, there is also a dedicated bar so there is no need for the guests to leave the reception room. Darren and Sara helped up plan the big day from beginning to end and have a few different menu and drinks packages, they also had a trusted list events teams who were also very professional and accommodating with budgets to suit all. We would highly recommend that you use Darren as the Master of the Ceremony as he knows how ton run a tight schedule as timing is very important when you have a fairly large guest list. We would also recommend having pictures taken in front of the old barn too as this looks lovely in photos. All the waiting staff and the rest of the team in the background were also fantastic. All in all, we had a fantastic day and our guests also fed back that they had a great day too. We had a no stress and the only hitch was when we said “I do” We would highly recommend to anyone who in planning a wedding, or indeed an anniversary.

    The Cock Hotel's reply:

    Best Wedding ever

    WEE HAD OUR WEDDING DELAYED FROM 2020, unlike some parties, but the hotel kept with us, with no changes to prices or experience .

    We had the best experience at a wedding with many guests saying it was the the best party/wedding that they had ever been too. We loved the day and it will be with us forever, everything went to plan thanks to Sarah and Darren and the team at the Cock hotel

    The Cock Hotel's reply:

    We were so happy to hear you had a brilliant Wedding Day. The Wedding teams aim is to deliver the perfect day and its a real bonus when we hear that not only did the Bride and Groom have the perfect day, the guests did to.

    Thank you so much for choosing The Cock Hotel for your Wedding, it was quite a few years in the lead up but the end result was brilliant all round.

    Wishing you lots of good health and happiness from the team at The Cock Hotel

    Cock Hotel

    Saw this location few years before even being engaged loved it. Its quaint and pretty. Love the old style of Marquee room and the courtyard.

    When we got engaged I knew I needed to enquire. On first chat with Sara the wedding coordinator she seemed rather stressed and it felt like a demand for payment on room to secure, as they were busy. Fair enough stressy time during covid but inflexibility to view the room on her side was not my problem. This also seemed to set in a trend unfortunately. We were also told of some personal procedures the coordinator had been through, which seemed unprofessional but we let it slide.

    Eventually we managed to view the room, choose our buffet foods and pay for our hotel room. A few details regarding parking etc were discussed. We were told we would meet 2 weeks prior the event to discuss finer details. We were fortunate enough to be gifted music. We also wanted further entertainment including a photographer. Which we had arranged. Understanding the need own insurances was fine. The way we were hounded for liability insurance was least professional, and actually set panic in. We even discovered that someone we had hired for the event had done numerous weddings there and not been asked for a certificate before. Now we found this detail off. Why would someone find the need to treat us differently to others?

    We 100% paid and had fulfilled our end of the bargain. Stuck to their pay up policy. A friend who is a carpenter had made us a beautiful arch to use and wanted to deliver it to the hotel the day before. As you may have guessed he was rudely dissmissed with a liability insurance certificate demand. This totally deflated us. The promised meeting 2 weeks prior the event did not take place even after calling the hotel myself to arrange this. We wouldve been able to discuss the arch detail then. Hotel seemed to find flexibility in allowing us to use said arch. I can only imagine because of their error and lack of service they offered us.

    We made a last minute decision to have welcome drinks for our guests on arrival and had requested options emailed. We were told this needed this to be paid 2 weeks prior the event, please bare in mind this is now a week prior the event. The menu attachment not emailed, however through a load of patience we arranged this.

    We met with Darren, the day before our event he who oversees everything he actually couldn't do enough for us. We would like to thank Darren and advise that he be people facing and perhaps deal with enquiring brides and grooms to be. He really did go above and beyond. I believe her name is Angie the duty manager that evening too was tops.

    So to sum up the experience we loved the location. We felt our money and liabilty certificates were most important to the wedding coordinator above giving us an experience to remember and treasure. Darren and Angie saved the day!
    All in all we had a good time. If you can, deal with Darren and Angie.

    A Fantastic Day!

    Planning a wedding during Lockdown wasn't easy and we changed our guest numbers a couple of times but the team at The Cock Hot were very flexible and made our day very special. Having access to the courtyard was lovely for the guests and photographer to mingle and relax after the emotion of the ceremony. The food was great too!

    The Cock Hotel's reply:

    We are delighted you had a lovely time on your Wedding Day.

    The uncertain government guidelines certainly did keep us on our toes at times! its so satisfying to hear it was a such a special day all round.

    Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together from all the team at The Cock Hotel
