We had the most wonderful wedding day here in September. Donna was the most incredible host, nothing was too big or small all I we had to do was ask. If you are looking for a woodland wedding venue this is it. We look forward to coming back and seeing you soon! ❤️

My husband and I had the most perfect day, despite being in a pandemic. Donna was a calming influence to my micromanaging self and needless to say everything was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble from my… emails at stupid o'clock in the morning to making sure my husband had a rum rather than a prosecco. Thank you for everything Donna ❤

What can I say?! I wish I could give more stars! We booked this venue in 2018 for our wedding that should have taken place in July. Due to covid, we had no choice but to postpone the wedding and Donna made it so much easier for us. She was so flexible and kept us up to date with the latest guidance and was always at the end of the phone if we had any questions. I was so worried about how the day was going to play out with more restrictions in place, but even with them - it was still magical. A gorgeous venue with a really beautiful setting at amazing value. Everything was included - down to the

My husband and I had the most perfect wedding day here, the venue was absolutely wonderful. Donna and Mark made us and our families so comfortable all day. The ceremony and meal decor was all set up absolutely… beautifully and made our day so special. The meal was lovely and service was great. The grounds are beautiful and we have lots of gorgeous pictures from our families, we can't wait to get our professional photographs. Donna and Mark were always happy to answer my relentless emails and messageseading up to the day too! I would definitely recommend having an event here.

Had my wedding day at the Olde England Koisk in July. It was magical. The decor was perfect. The staff were brilliant. The owner/planner of the Koisk was very attentive and answered any questions I had even if it was at 10 at night and she was very kind as well as gave me little pep talks when i really needed it. The food was absolutly brilliant my husband still raves about the bbq burgers. This was a perfect venue for our wedding couldn't have asked for a better one.

The kiosk holds a very special place in my heart. 13 years ago I got married there and in July of this year we had my brothers wake there. As my brother was only 30, we wanted a wake that he would have loved so we requested a bbq. The hosting and food were fantastic and they made what was a very difficult day perfect and just as we requested. I can't thank them enough and would highly recommend the olde England kiosk.
