Absolutely fantastic anniversary meal at the Moat House, which is also where we got married. We had the Christmas menu and the turkey dinner was absolutely delicious. We were even surprised with some delicious treats afterwards. The staff were all so lovely, helpful and attentive. Thank you so much for making our wedding anniversary so special.

Excellent meal, not cheap as it has a 2 star Michelin rating. Staff was pleasant all be it slow for ordering everything. how the kitchen could be behind on an order of seasonal veg when everything else was ready is just poor management, not enough people, ??? Wrong management style ??? Place is beautiful though.

We got married at the Moat House in August and from start to finish the experience was excellent! We had to postpone twice due to Covid and they were so accommodating and made the process a lot less stressful than it could have been. On the day of the wedding they did everything to ensure that our day ran smoothly and couldn't have been more helpful or efficient. They dressed the room exactly as I wanted it and the food they provided was exceptional. What a stunning setting to have our day in. We got married at St James church just opposite and walked back to the Moat House for the rest of our

Unfortunately not the best of experiences, had high expectations for wedding venue. Beautiful place, food was amazing in the restaurant, decor top notch and very clean.
Staff poor & let everything down🙁 Chloe who is the wedding planner barking at us the day before about what's 'in the contract' no people skills to calm our last minute wedding issues. Obviously a breakdown in communication from things we were told on the last run through. But didn't appreciate her attitude.
Only allowed access to CLS an hour before the wedding which didn't give much time to set cake up as guests were arriving
