Country Pub for Picturesque, Budget Wedding in South Manchester/Cheshire + 10-15 miles

I have just moved to Glossop and I have heard that The Pack Horse in Hayfield is lovely. The food is supposed to be great and it looks quite fabulously-decorated.

Thanks for taking the time to help!

I'm from Hadfield originally so I know The Pack Horse - you're absolutely right, it's a lovely pub with great food and a welcoming, cosy (open fires) feel. This is definitely the type of place I'm after, but they'd only be able to offer a reception/function room option and I'm ideally after somewhere that can host the civil ceremony too.

As far as I'm aware they're not licensed, but I'll give them a call and ask the question!

Hey, our numbers are very similar to yours- our reception is booked for The Windmill Inn at Tabley we have the place to ourselves.

I don't know if they hold civil ceremonys but Tabley House nearby deff does (we are getting married in church elsewhere)

Hope that helps, any more questions give me a shout!

Oh and our budget is very similar too!

I was going to recommend the Bridge as I have delivered a few wedding cakes there. If you want to get married in the venue the best thing to do is contact the registrars in the areas you want as they hold a list of all the venues with wedding licences which should help with your search.

You might look at Worsley Court house for character, its Salford council, Loads of character great catering and management and although they don't have accommodation there is a Novotel and a Marriott both within walking distance

Congratulations on your big day! When are you getting married?

Thanks for the link - The Windmill looks lovely and is definitely the type of place that we're after! I've just sent them an email to see if they are licensed for the civil ceremony or if they know anywhere close by. I've tried Tabley House and it's a bit pricey, but fingers crossed these guys can help.

Was there anywhere else similar to this that you considered? Did you find it hard to come up with venues in your budget or was The Windmill your first choice? I've found very few options in our price bracket so far so it'd be interesting to know your experience.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Jules. I've already been on all the council websites, but I don't think that every licensed venue is listed as we've managed to find a few additions to the council lists.

Worsley Court House is beautiful and is probably our back-up choice at the moment - it's within our budget and criteria, the only problem is one of our friend's beat us to it and got married there this summer! As silly as it sounds, we'd both really like somewhere that felt like our idea!!

Have you heard good things about The Bridge? Are there any other venues you've come across on your deliveries? Sounds like you have some insider know-how!
