Restaurant suitable for wedding meal

[Pferdestarke]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I might find a good quality restaurant in a good area that could provide a great meal as well as a private function room for an evening gathering for circa 50 people?

Geography not an issue, as long as it's in the UK.

Budget?

£40 to £70 per head on food and i would expect a room hire charge of some sort.

Congratulations by the way... (am getting there soon myself but not in the UK)
coming back to your question

they are even licensed for wedding, some of my friends have married there, the food is exceptional and sizewise you could hire the oyster room perfectly- food is excellent - both absolute and value for money, decent winelsit, too
they are also felxible to talk to, if they have space on your date
rooms and Spa are nice and new, too

Hambleton Hall on the edge of Rutland Water i;ve heard is very good.

Grange-over-Sands, we had our wedding here in 2008. They food was very good and they offer choice on the day of 4-5 starters & 5-6 mains. Order taken at the table on the day, no advance ordering or anything like that. Your budget will fit.

PM me for more details.

Thanks for the sentiments and suggestions guys. I'll take a look and be in touch if any take (her) fancy.

Is there nowhere specific that has resonance/sentimental value to you, in order to narrow the search down?

Maybe I'm a little bit girlie, but the choice of locations I've been mulling over has been very specific (place of birth or where we live now) for ours...

If these don't apply, what about first place you met? Favourite place you've been (city? Coast? Mountains?)? Somewhere sensible for guests to get to?

50 people isn't going to be the hardest to accommodate in all likelihood (IME it starts getting itchy when numbers go beyond this!), so I'd suggest narrowing it down a bit first

Congrats btw.

Belated congratulations Tom, from both Kate and I.

We were married last year, we would have liked to use this place but at the time they could only cater for 30-odd people.
Having eaten there more recently, he tells me they are expanding their facilities to cater for more people - food is fantastic, as is the decor - Kate fell in love with the place.
