Best venue… ever!
From start to finish, The Plough were absolutely wonderful. They made what is often a very stressful process feel calm and effortless, and we truly appreciate all the hard work they put in. The venue itself is stunning — a perfect blend of character and elegance with a touch of rustic charm. They decorated it far beyond what we could have imagined, bringing our vision to life in the most beautiful way.
Everything went smoothly, and we had complete trust in the team, which was more than justified. It’s clear they are experts in what they do and can handle any unexpected challenges with ease and grace. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was nothing short of spectacular. The flavours were exquisite, and there was more than enough to satisfy our guests, who were all blown away by the quality and quantity.
The value for money was exceptional, something that’s not always easy to find when planning a wedding. We were so impressed, and we can't recommend The Plough highly enough. Della, our coordinator, was fantastic — always communicative, understanding of our vision, and incredibly helpful throughout.
They were also incredibly flexible, which was so important to us as we wanted to add some personal touches and unique quirks to our big day. The Plough were fully supportive and encouraging of all our ideas.
Thank you for making the lead-up to our wedding and the day itself so special. We’ll always treasure the memories.
With love,
The Longhursts

I cannot recommend the plough enough. From the moment we booked in 2022 Becky and Della and all the team was nothing but amazing; from answering every little question I had to making sure everything was perfect on our day. They had plans for having both inside and outside ceremony space set up just incase the weather changed. I want to say a massive thank you for everyone at the plough your all amazing

Wow, what an amazing place
The plough and barn at Leigh is hands down the most magical place I have ever been to, let alone be lucky enough to get married in!
Della, Becky and the team could not do enough for us and we're on hand every step of the way - even with us having to postpone our first date by a year due to ill health. The food is to die for and we have had nothing but compliments from all of our guests.
We will definitely recommend your venue to as many people as we can.

Wedding 2025
Della, Becky and the team at The Plough were fantastic and couldn't have had a better day. From start to finish they helped us plan the food (which was delicious), what we could have decoration wise, other personal touches we could have and it looked beautiful on the day. Everyone said how comfortable, happy they were there and we felt at ease as the team looked after us throughout the day. I would highly recommend!!

A characterful 16th century pub and 17th century barn and what a team!
Our wedding at the Plough and Barn on the 5th April 2025 was just amazing! It is a great venue as it offers a beautiful outdoor space to marry or if the heavens open the barn offers a characterful space for your ceremony and celebrations. The planning of wedding was relaxed and easy thanks to Becky and her team who managed my last minute changes to the day with ease. Nothing was a problem and all my wishes and requests were realised on the day. And as for the chef, well the food was simply delicious and my evening request for boerewors rolls and a vegetarian Durban curry "bunny chow" ( South African inspired scrumptious food) was just perfect! Our spring wedding was just wonderful. Thank you Team Becky@ the Plough and Barn. We can't wait to come and visit your characterful 16th Century pub very soon.

The best venue around
I cannot speak highly enough about The Plough and Barn.
We used The Plough and Barn for our wedding reception, after a church ceremony. From start to finish they were nothing but helpfulful and friendly.
We were welcome to view the venue whenever we wished and the relaxed approach they had really suited us as we felt no pressure at any point.
They were super flexible with plans and happy to change things, even up to the last minute.
The food was also outstanding and we've had numerous comments on how all the food served was of high quality and tasted amazing.
We cannot recommend this venue enough and I'm so glad we found it. It really is a little gem.

The perfect venue!
“We had our wedding at this beautiful barn venue, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the start, Becky, Della, and the team was attentive, professional, and genuinely caring, making sure every detail was perfect for our big day. They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and keep our wedding day running smoothly.
The venue itself is stunning—rustic charm and the fact we could decorate it to match our theme was fantastic!
And the food—just wow! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and bursting with flavor. From appetizers to the main course, everything was delicious, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. It’s clear that a lot of care and skill went into the catering.
Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day unforgettable. We’ll always cherish the memories made here

A magical barn wedding
Della, Becky and the whole team at the Plough delivered an unforgettable wedding day for us in September. From our first meeting they made a very stressful experience seem like nothing was an issue or too much trouble putting us at ease throughout. The venue itself looked beautiful, rustic and elegant which is exactly what we had in mind. The food was exceptional and we had lots of choice for the day. The day itself ran like clockwork, even with them having to deal with a 45 minute delay, they were not phased and proffesionally dealt with this so well that we were completely relaxed. Also any extras we wanted I.e specific wines or a gazebo putting up was never too much trouble for them and they were very accommodating to all our wishes.
