When you’re planning your wedding, there’s so much to think about; the dress, the flowers, the venue, the music, the photographer…
But one thing that should never be an afterthought is the food.
Your wedding breakfast is one of the biggest moments of the day. It’s when everyone comes together, relaxes, raises a glass and celebrates with you. And it’s something your guests will remember long after the day is over.
That’s why at Old Thorns, we believe your food should be just as carefully considered as everything else.
Our menus are designed around the seasons, giving you the opportunity to choose dishes that suit the time of year you’re getting married and the style of celebration you have in mind.
And your wedding breakfast doesn’t have to mean a traditional three-course meal.

Our Wedding at Old Thorns was magical- it was the perfect day
Our Wedding at Old Thorns was magical- it was the perfect day, and we could not have asked for anything more. The minute we booked, we were met with smiles, organisation and a team going above and beyond- no question from us was ever too much. We had the most stress-free 2 years planning as we felt so supported by the wedding team at Old Thorns. The wedding was amazing value for money, and the quality of the wedding and what was included was above what we could have asked for. On the wedding day, the operations team were incredible; they were the heart of everything they did, and they created what was a day of a lifetime and one we will never forget! Old Thorns will always have a special place in our hearts, and although we won’t be able to get married all over again, we will continue to pop back to relive our special day as everyone is always so kind! Thank you, Old Thorns, for everything!!

Our day was so perfect and it really couldn't have been any better.
Our day was so perfect, and it really couldn’t have been any better. It was so relaxed, and our guests and us had a wonderful time. The only negative was that it went so quickly. The day after, once all of our guests had left, I had an emotional moment because I was gutted that it was over.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue than Old Thorns for our wedding
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue than Old Thorns for our wedding. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the right place for us—not only because of how stunning the Gatsby Ballroom looked, but also because of the excellent value offered by their packages, with thoughtful extras like a DJ and decorations included, which felt like a huge bonus.
The entire experience, from planning through to the big day, exceeded all our expectations. The team were exceptional—professional, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was just right. Their support throughout the planning process made everything feel so easy and stress-free, and on the day itself they ensured everything ran seamlessly. The venue itself is beautiful, and we especially loved having the golf course as a backdrop for our photos—it made for some truly special moments that we’ll treasure forever. Our guests were so impressed with the facilities, and we received so many compliments about the setting, the atmosphere, and especially the rooms, which were comfortable and beautifully presented.
The food was another highlight of the day, with many of our guests commenting on how much they enjoyed it. It really helped make the whole experience feel extra special. Overall, we are so grateful to the team at Old Thorns for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful setting, great value, and a team they can completely trust.

I honestly can't thank the whole hotel & Wedding team enough for everything they done for us.
You have made my wedding planning experience such a smooth experience. Me asking to change/add things so very last minute was never an issue, and I’m truly grateful for how helpful you and the whole team have been. My experience at Old Thorns was more than I could have ever imagined; the staff and the whole wedding team couldn’t do enough to make sure our big day was nothing short of perfect, and that’s exactly what it was…Perfect!! They made the whole day flowed so smoothly. I honestly can’t thank the whole hotel & Wedding team enough for everything they done for us. I keep saying it, but i honestly can’t thank you all enough. I’m so unbelievably sad it’s all over, but I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team to have dealt with.
