    Incredible day, amazing and beautiful

    We recently celebrated our wedding at this venue, and it exceeded all our expectations. From our first visit through to the wedding day itself, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special.

    The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful surroundings and a warm, elegant atmosphere that impressed all of our guests. The staff worked seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly and allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.

    The food was excellent, the service was exceptional, and every detail was handled with care. We received so many compliments from family and friends about the venue and the overall experience.

    We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved for helping create such wonderful memories. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful setting and outstanding service for their wedding day.

    The perfect venue for an utterly perfect day!

    We can never thank Philippa and the team at Stone Trough Inn enough for our perfect day on the 5th May, 2026.

    From our first visit, to our final goodbye, the Stone Trough was nothing short of amazing! The venue? A beautiful, hidden gem! The food? Utterly divine! The staff? So patient and understanding to our every need!

    Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was, how friendly the staff were, and how excited they were to return in their own time.

    As a couple with a limited budget, I truly thought our 'perfect day' just wasn't possible. The Stone Trough Inn did more than prove me wrong - it blew every expectation out of the water!

    If you're still searching for the perfect relaxed, picturesque and whimsical wedding venue - look no further, you've found it!

    A must have venue!!

    We got married at The Stone Trough Inn in early April 2026 and it was the best decision!!

    From start to finish, Philippa was so incredibly helpful and went over and above to make it perfect for us! She was available to answer any questions and to give advice when I had no clue what I was doing!! Philippa - you are absolutely amazing and made the whole process so easy!

    The list of local suppliers was so helpful too - Langton Hall for accommodation, Angela Waites photography and Ellie Fenwick Makeup were all recommended from Philippa and were incredible too!

    On the day, the staff went above and beyond - the venue looked amazing which is all thanks to Philippa and the team! Another shout of for Philippa who came to the rescue and managed to find a lost ring in the ceremony! The warmth and laughter from all the staff throughout the day was lovely and made the place feel even more comfortable and relaxed. The food was incredible - the gluten free fish and chip evening buffet was amazing (you have to try the fried halloumi too!)

    I cannot recommend The Stone Trough Inn enough - it was incredible!! I can’t wait to go visit again for lunch and to look back on all the life long memories created in such a beautiful little nook that is hidden on top of a hill ❤️

    Couldn't recommend more

    Me and my partner got married at the Stone Trough Inn on Nov 8th and I cant recommend the venue enough. From day 1 to the big day, Phillipa and her staff couldnt do enough for us.
    We had multiple meeting at the Stone Trough to discuss any issues we had and all our queries were always met with positivity and solutions.

    The location of the venue was perfect for the intimate wedding we wanted. It is a beautiful countryside venue to match the views surrounding it. The big days itself couldnt have gone any smoother and thats all down to the great work of Phillipa and her team. They completely decorated the entire venue in the morning with the decorations we provided allowing myself and my partner to enjoy our mornings apart and prepare for the day ahead. (The execution of the decorations was perfection).

    The Wedding breakfast and food for the evening was incredible. Even though our wedding was a few months ago now we still get family and friends labelling it as 'the best wedding food they have had'. The staff on the day were more than accommodating, they genuinely felt like part of the celebrations and by the end of the night ended up knowing most of the guests by there first name which set a really nice vibe. Phillipa and her team constantly checked in on me and my now wife to make sure we were having the best day possible and didn't need anything.

    The Stone Trough has become more than a wedding venue for us. Due to amazing experience we had, we now see the Stone Trough Inn as more of a tradition. A place we look forward to visiting many more more times in the future.

    The Venue, staff and food were 10/10. Can't recommend enough.

    The most perfect day

    The day was flawless from start to finish! Every
    Moment from getting out of the car to the last dance was perfect. ALL the staff were excellent, so professional and attentive! Philippa was amazing throughout the planning process - helped with all ideas and was very accommodating to changes and on the day she again was amazing and made sure everything was on point.

    The decor was done to such a high standard, the change overs were seamless. The FOOD was outstanding huge compliments to the chef, allowed us to have what we wanted and it was perfection. I would highly recommend the Stone Trough Inn, you will not regret it.

    Our perfect winter wedding at The Trough 💫💍🤍

    We had our winter wedding here on the 13th December 2025 and just WOW. Our vibe was cozy, personal and festive, Phillipa and her team absolutely nailed it. From the first wedding meetings all the way through till weeks after the wedding still checking up on us, the service has been second to none. Phillipa was very professional yet felt like I had a bridal bestie who knew exactly what I wanted without me having to go crazy, she’s a credit to her job and made our day feel so easy, special and put together. It was perfect. THE FOOD was genuinely unreal, we had the ‘posh buffet’ and literally everyone was saying how nice it was, it looked and tasted 100/10 I was actually taken a back by how good it was! The canapés and drinks were amazing, everything was just brilliant and I couldn’t recommend The Stone Trough, Phillipa and her team more! There’s also Kirkham Abbey just down the road for great photo opportunities 🥹 If you’re looking for a cozy, personal, pub wedding then this is the place for you 🙏🏼💫💍🤍

    Nothing short of amazing!!

    From start to finish Philippa and team went above and beyond to make our wedding the most perfect day, attention to detail was second to none, the food was impeccable and the whole wedding party had the most amazing day! Nothing was too much for Philippa, last minute changes and plans and she still perfectly orchestrated the whole day! If we could do it all over again we wouldn’t change a thing and the Stone Trough would be our number one choice with its amazing views and beautiful charm. Thank you so much to all the team, if you are looking for a wedding planner to turn your dreams into a vision then Philippa is your lady!

    The most incredible venue & service

    We got married here in September 2025 and the whole experience, from setting a date to the actually day itself was absolutely incredible. We were nervous about setting a date with just 7 weeks notice, but Phillipa was on hand at all times to help us navigate the decisions needed. Nothing was too much!
    The day itself was seamless!! And the food, wow! We had nothing but compliments about how beautiful the food was, and it really was amazing! The staff went out of their way all day and night to ensure that our guests and ourselves were looked after at every point. I cannot rate this venue high enough! What an absolute gem we stumbled across!
    If you do chose to get married here definitely head down to the priory for some photos!

    Brilliant Venue in an amazing setting

    The Stone Trough Inn is a intimate venue with amazing views, All the staff are very attentive and are committed to making your special day go as smoothly as possible so you have nothing to think about other than enjoying every moment.
    The quality of the food and presentation was outstanding, as well as effortlessly catering for all dietary requirements.
    I couldn't recommend this venue enough for anyone wishing to have a small to medium intimate wedding in a relaxed idyllic setting.
