Ellie Sent on 21/08/2025The most perfect wedding for the most perfect day 🤍
My partner & I got married at Drovers Rest in June this year, and it was an absolute dream come true! We knew from the moment we pulled in to the car park for our first visit that it would be the one after seeing its rustic charm, animals grazing and stunning grounds. After speaking to Kesri and the team this was solidified and no other venue came close - dog friendly, AMAZING food, alpacas & gorgeous accomodation- what more could you want?! We’re so glad that we went ahead with that decision, and chose Drovers to be the place we celebrated one of the most special days of our lives. Kesri and Lola were always just a message away when we had 100 questions during the build up, and they did all they could to help us get everything just the way we wanted. The team are so flexible with your choices and wishes, they did their best to accommodate to every wish or idea we had and wanted to get on board. The team were incredible the whole weekend too- from Paul picking me and my bridesmaids up in his van from Drovers Cottage in the pouring down rain to take me to the ceremony, all the way through to the chefs saving us the canapés we missed whilst having photos taken, and Kesri making bouquets out of the left over flowers we had to give to friends and family. There’s not a single guest who hasn’t commented on how incredible they all were, they made us all feel welcomed and like a part of their family. Our parents are especially impressed and grateful for all their efforts and kindness 🤍
The food was amazing, and again, praised by everyone. We had a breakfast together the next morning for all guests who stayed on site, all freshly cooked on the fires outside which was such a special and unique touch to end the experience with our closest friends and family.
All in all, it’s a truly wonderful and unforgettable place, with a team that go above and beyond for you, your family & your friends. Honestly, thank you so much for everything, you are the most kind-hearted and welcoming family, you’ve given us a day we will never forget, perfect from start to finish, and we would love nothing more than to do it all over again. But nevertheless, we will be back for a good camping holiday around the fires with the alpacas next summer ❤️ -

11/07/2026 Our wedding day
We couldn’t recommend Drovers enough! Kesr and the whole team were incredible. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we felt so cared for throughout.
The venue is stunning, with the beautiful farm setting.
The atmosphere is truly magical, you instantly feel like you’ve known the team forever. The food cooked over the fires was incredible, and ending the night under the stars after dancing the night away was unforgettable.
Drovers gave us the relaxed, fun and magical wedding we had dreamed of. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it! ❤️ -

An incredible venue!!
What an incredible wedding venue. We had the most wonderful weekend of wedding celebrations. Kesri and Paul went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life and ran smoothly on the day. Marta and Patrick were outstanding chefs on the open fires. We had food Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then and their team worked around the clock to produce delicious homemade food that we and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed. They catered to all dietary requirements without reducing quality or taste. All our guests raved about the venue and food.
At other venues the feeling was you were on a conveyor belt of weddings and you were just another number, but not at Drovers. At Drovers, it was so personal and curated for us and everything done with love and care.
They went above and beyond - they printed out our table signs when we realised we'd left them to clearing away a broken mirror without a word to us so it didn't spoil our day.
The accommodation was great - there are 3 stone cottages, safari tents and glamping tents so you and your guests can really enjoy the outdoors in luxury. It gave us time to chat with all our guests and not feel rushed.
With so many options on where to have your ceremony - you can really make your wedding ceremony perfect for you. We chose the orchard and it was just stunning in the summer.
Kesri is very experienced and has lots of ideas if needed but is also really open to exploring ideas and making your ideas work for you. They let you decorate the barns and open spaces - some venues we came across didn't let you decorate at all. So you can really make it your own.
We really can't recommend Drovers enough - it really was an incredible venue!

Matthew Sent on 02/09/2025A Perfect August Weekend
I was lucky enough to get married at Drovers Rest in August. What can I say... I fell in love with the farm, the family, the staff, the animals... The specifics on food and the accommodation etc are very easy to describe, but what is difficult to explain is how I feel about the family and the venue now. It almost feels like another home, and I am really looking forward to going back soon. For one short weekend we really felt like we were part of the family. Kesri and Paul made it so clear from the start that they would try and make whatever idea we had to come true. Luckily for them, we are pretty laid back people. The biggest and most important thing for us was that we, and our friends, felt comfortable and could enjoy the weekend as much as we possibly could. And they fulfilled that in every sense. Before the wedding, Lola and Kesri were really good with quotes, ideas, help, talking us through things and making sure we were really happy with everything. We also headed up to the venue for an open day and tried the INCREDIBLE food and had a good look around the cottages and the options for the ceremony. Paul showed us around and we had a really good laugh with him about ideas and what other people have done on site. We opted to have our ceremony in the woods, and it was truly beautiful. The sun came through the leaves and branches, and it is so quiet and peaceful. Then the drinks reception afterwards was a lot of fun. The bar is great, and all the team seem to get involved in making sure drinks are flowing. We had games and music and it felt really great in the shade of the sun. Then the team start to cook the food... in the courtyard with you. And people LOVE being able to see it being cooked in front of them. Service was great throughout the meal, and then we partied the night away... And I'm really glad to say that we got to party with the team. Marta (we love you!) and her daughter were dancing with us, Kesri and Paul joined us for toasts, and their children had a great laugh with us making cocktails and serving shots at the bar. And then we got to do it all again on the Sunday! I'll end by saying that it was genuinely getting a little awkward with the amount of our guests telling us how amazing everything was. This was no grand "pimp my wedding" style affair, but it was heartfelt, and done exceptionally well, and the two things that really made it were the amazing food and the incredible team. Everyone loved all the staff and the family, and every plate of food that was served was met with absolute joy, and whilst we (I) was happy to take a lot of the credit from our guests for a great wedding weekend, really it was down to Drovers to understand what we wanted, understand that (I think) we're on the same page in many ways, to deliver incredible food and drink, but mainly to just be themselves and to welcome us into their home for the weekend. KEsri, Paul, Family and Team. Thank you. -

Bank holiday wedding!festival!party!feast! 😍
After viewing what felt like a hundred wedding venues, we were so happy when we came across Drovers Rest. If we could sum up our personalities within a venue - this was - the one!
12 months later and the team at Drovers absolutely smashed it, and gave us the best weekend of our lives and the perfect wedding which we’ll remember forever! Festival vibes, a fire cooked feast, a woodland ceremony and a party that lasted from Friday - Sunday ( quite literally ) - the onsite accommodation was perfect for all, and the relaxed atmosphere really took the stress away from everyone ( mainly me :) ) - Thankyou to the best team, who went far beyond what we ever expected. We can’t wait to visit you all again in the future for more great memories ( and food :) )! Much love guys! From Alex, Abi and all our guests! -

The best weekend of our lives!
Drovers Rest is a unique and amazing venue! It's beautiful and relaxed atmosphere is unmatched. From it's beautiful woodland to the rustic barns, with wild horses roaming the fields and alpacas and goats to feed.
We viewed over 10 venues across the whole UK and nothing compared to this venue!
The team were amazing from start to finish and couldn't do more for us! They made us and our guests feel so welcome and special.
Our guests commented on how lovely and amazing the team at Drovers all were and how they had the best time at the best venue they've ever seen.
The love and dedication of the team really makes this place special!
We can't wait to come back already! We're ready for a winter feast stay!
