Eight we are asked every week

Yes, from our list. Six caterers know the kitchen, the access and where the power is, and they quote you directly. If you want somebody not on the list we will meet them here first, and there is a four hundred dollar kitchen hire on top.

The minimum spend is on food and drink only, never on the hire fee, and it is five thousand dollars in every month of the year.

It stops applying at fifty nine guests. Below that you pay the five thousand whether you bring forty people or fifty eight, which is why a small wedding here costs more a head than a large one. The budget page shows the exact crossover on your own numbers.

Amplified music stops at midnight and the bar closes at half past. Acoustic in the walled garden can run to one, because it does not carry to the village.

No, and we say so before you book. The Orchard is only ever sold with the Long Barn held behind it, so the wet weather plan is a room you have already seen and not a marquee somebody promises in April.

We will hold a date for ten days on a phone call, once, with nothing to pay. After that it goes back on the grid on this site, which is the same grid we work from.

The building from ten in the morning until one the following afternoon, every table and chair we own, the bar, the cellar, parking, and two of our staff for the whole day. Not catering, not drink, not tax.

Fourteen, in the Old Dairy and the two cottages. Everybody else is a fifteen minute drive, and we keep a list of what is walkable.

Once, to any date in the same season band, for nothing. Moving from Peak to Quiet refunds the difference; moving the other way you pay it. That is written into the contract rather than left to goodwill.
