Choosing our wedding reception venue was super easy for us. Since moving to Pembridge back in 2017, my now husband and I, regularly visited The Cider Barn near Pembridge to sample their Sunday lunches, evening menus, music evenings and Sunday BBQ’s, plus their wonderful wines, ciders and ales. The food was always fantastic- of such high quality- well thought out and executed dishes, using fresh, local ingredients.
From our initial booking enquiry, everything ran so smoothly. We had meetings with Pauline (the Cider Barn’s Weddings & Events Co-ordinator) and with Sophie and Paul who run the Cider Barn, to talk through logistics, availability, food and wine choices. We immediately felt in safe hands when it came to having our wedding reception there. Our food on the day was outstanding. Comments from our guests, was that it was the best food they had been served whilst attending a wedding- the compliments stand for the 3- course meal and our evening food.
In terms of the venue itself, The Cider Barn simply oozes character and charm. The barn is airy and spacious; walls adorned with artwork by local artists depicting cows and deer (plus a couple of chicken sculptures). The adjoining terraced area and field at the rear which looks out across the glorious Herefordshire landscape, gave us lots of different spaces for our guests to mingle and enjoy – in particular the younger guests loved having plenty of space to burn off energy and climb all over the hay bales. We remember stepping into our reception venue on the day and the barn looking so beautiful. Everything had been placed with such care; the cake, our flower arrangements, table decorations (the attention to detail on the tables was incredible), the whole venue looked magical. We couldn’t be happier that we opted for the rustic charm of The Cider Barn venue for our special day. Thank you to all the team for everything.
