The days of mini sausage rolls and quiche buffets is long gone. Modern couples look for a more innovative and interesting approach to the wedding breakfast. Its not all contemporary though.

I got married there myself seven years ago, when I was living nearby, and I’ve helped almost 250 couples to get married there since.
