Amazing venue to celebrate a wedding

We decided to celebrate our wedding with 5 weeks notice. We wanted something warm, accessible and cosy. We were so lucky to find the Red Lion's Garden Room and have Clare (the best Wedding Manager)!!

Clare helped us choose the right food and structure the day so that it flowed perfectly. I can't recommend the Red Lion & Clare enough :)
