Need some help

Agree that Restaurant Bar and Grill isn't the best food. Not dreadful but nothing special.

What's your budget? I'm a Manchester girl, who likes restaurants!

What about Michael Caine's (famous chef on the tele) at Abode Hotel. They do private dining and the set private dining menus start fromonly £30.00 for three courses or they do Al la Carte menu as well. Then you can stay in the Abode Hotel. I thought the food etc was reaslly reasonable compared to some resteraunts and my hubby has been here a few times with work linches etc and always raves about the food.

Not from your area so unable to give specific recommendations however we are having a intimate wedding in a hotel, so I wouldn't rule them out however we generally found in most cases hotels tend not to 'sell' their smaller meeting/banqueting rooms as part of wedding packages or even in the wedding sections of their websites so bare that in mind when looking browsing their websites.

We don't want to spend much over £1000

I know that is going to shock alot of people but this will be my second wedding. I did the massive wedding last time and it didnt work out. This is just about the two of us and our parents. I wont be going for the big dress either and no photographer. So the budget is just for ceremony and food.

£30 a head sounds good total of £600 for dinner

Hiya, I am a Lancashire Lass originally and my Ma went to a wedding here last year that was fab:

Hope that helps

Michael Cains is alright if you like foam.

What about lovely little country places, Peruga in Marple, for example? Jem and I or Rhubarb in Didsbury?

Thank you for all your suggestions keep them coming

I am from stourbridge near Birmingham originally only lived here for 2 years so still new to the area. Internet is my friend though

Hi enasy im also a bolton girl and getting married in August i also work in a restraunt in bolton edgeworth we are doing a few small weddings this year i would love to have my wedding there but its the work thing and too small for us, what day do you get married also were abouts in bolton are you x

I'm not local so not making a recommendation as such but looking through the lancashire wedding venues I see The Inn at Whtewell which on paper at least has everything you want: rooms, private dining for 20, wedding licence. Meals start at £34. No idea what it's actually like but the website makes it look charming and trip advisor seems full of positive reviews.

Congratulations on your engagement :-)

The Inn at Whitewell is lovely, and there's loads of venues in the Ribble Valley, what about Northcote?

We're getting married at Beeston Manor, not sure if it fits your bill or not?

And we looked somewhere that had a private dining room in a hotel but I can't remember where, might have been Preston Marriott or maybe Dunkenhalgh.

Hi guys thanks for the suggestions. Been looking them up and still cant find one i like. there all a little too grand.

Have you looked on trip advisor ?
