Cambridgeshire venues

SunnyOrangeHair87292, 9 January, 2020 at 13:03 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hi all,

We’ve been looking for venues based around the Cambridge area, we are West of Cambridge in St Neots. We like the Barn style venues and have found a couple that we like so far. We went to see Bassmead Manor Barns yesterday and absolutely loved it, until we found out the cost of the food! The cheapest option including drinks was around £100 per head! (I think you are paying for the staff as they are a separate company to the venue owners..)
The other venue we like the look of is Milling Barn in Throcking. Not been for a visit yet but looks very similar and what you get included in the price looks the same on paper. But the food cost is a lot lower, the cheapest is £39 per head plus £20 drinks I think. Both the food prices are without evening food.
What is the average price for food? We have about 60 guests.

If there are any other suggestions in terms of venue around the area that would be appreciated! We did the Manor Barn in Harlton but that’s a minimum of 100 guests.

Many thanks!

    I believe there is one called Red Barn near Downham Market - may be a bit far for you but worth a look?

    Bassmead Manor Barns really has that charming barn vibe, but the pricing can be a bit shocking — especially when catering is handled by an external company. You might want to ask if there's flexibility in the catering options or see if similar venues allow more affordable alternatives. Et pour une ambiance aussi élégante, rien ne vaut des robes ajustées .
