The Old Vicarage

"Came for a Christmas meal a couple of weeks ago. It’s a lovely setting, but I can’t help but think that the posh setting is what you are really paying for as the food was pretty average. For the starter I had the duck terrine which was tiny and bland. The main was a bit better, the turkey and gravy was pretty good but two small roast potatoes were pretty anaemic looking and only one parsnip. Zero green veg included. I mean who chose to not include sprouts in a Xmas turkey dinner?? I can’t believe any self respecting chef would make this decision so I’m assuming it must’ve been a decision from the management. I had the cheese board for dessert which was also disappointing as it came with 6 of those hexagonal style tasteless cardboard crackers and half the cheese choices were poor. For £40 a head I expected alot better. Won’t be coming again. p.s. definitely nothing against the staff who were great so the service gets a 5. This review was simply based on the standard of the food I personally had."

"Recently attended a wedding here and it was really lovely It's a wonderful venue with lots of lovely grounds and a mixture of spaces and a very well stocked bar that had a decent range considering its small size. It was a beautiful day. There is plenty of parking to the front of the property and the grounds appear well manicured and looked after. Its in a lovely rural quiet location, surrounded by countryside. We stayed over in one of the in house rooms. The room was very grand, with large furniture and lots of space and a small ensuite. However cleanliness level was a little below our standard and there were a few minor maintenance issues with the ensuite. The food was ok although we felt it was a little lacking compared to the rest of the venue and not quite at the same standard as everything else. (There was nothing wrong with the food - wedding meal and morning breakfast - just nothing special or memorable about it) However, the stone baked pizzas served on the evening were excellent and a great alternative to the traditional evening buffet!"

"The room & bathroom I had in the main building was a little tired and rather small shower enclosure but friends had some newer rooms in the outhouse buildings that were much smarter. Staff were fantastic and good breakfast and dinner."

"We have just been to my Grandsons wedding & stayed the night. It was absolutely lovely. The orangery where the wedding took place was the perfect setting. The staff were really pleasant & very helpful & our room was perfect. Thanks to everyone at the Old Vicarage for making it a fantastic experience."

"We got married at the Old vicarage July 16th 2022 and it was absolutely stunning! From the venue having the best views, the staff being so helpful and Sarah coordinating the day. I had the very best day! It was an amazing experience! Special thanks to Tanya for going above and beyond for us. Thank you again for making everything perfect!!!"
