About The Plough Inn

Dating back to the 15th century, former farm and coaching inn The Plough is the perfect venue to host your country wedding in Eaton, Cheshire. The beautiful Oak Barn dates back as far as the 13th century. Transported to Eaton from its original home in the Welsh hills in the 20th century, the space has been carefully restored to the stunning venue it is today. Facilities and Capacity From the red brick home and manicured gardens to the wood-framed barn, you can embrace the beauty of your day in this venue. The medieval Oak Barn is a licensed venue to hold civil ceremonies for up to 85 guests. It can also accommodate up to 115 guests for your wedding breakfast and evening celebration in the barn. With high, vaulted ceilings and wooden beams throughout, the barn lends itself to a romantically rustic atmosphere. Services Offered With an idyllic atmosphere, impeccable catering, and the perfect mix of accommodations, the Plough at Eaton offers you the perfect setting for your wedding. The team can cater for both small and large events and will do whatever it takes to make your event as unique or traditional as you wish. When it comes to food, The Plough offers a range of delicious options. This covers everything from tantalizing canapés to delicious meals and old favourites for the evening meal. With a number of different packages and options, it’s easy to create the perfect menu for your day. Accommodations At the end of the night, you and your guests can kick off your dancing shoes and retire to one of The Plough’s 17 en-suite bedrooms, including double, twin, and family rooms. Each room has been stylishly decorated and is set away from the main building, offering peace and a restful night’s sleep after the day’s festivities. Wedding Prep Area - The Loft In addition, our dedicated preparation space, The Loft , is available from 7am (with 6am access available for an additional fee). It provides ample room for hair and makeup, a kitchen area with tea and coffee facilities, and a private dressing room - creating a relaxing and practical setting for your wedding morning.

We honestly don’t know where to start with how amazing our wedding day was at The Plough. From the very beginning, the whole team were absolutely incredible and made us feel so welcomed, supported and looked after throughout the entire planning process. Our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish, and the attention to detail was amazing. The team worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure everything was perfect, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy every moment of our special day. The venue itself is beautiful and provided the perfect setting for our wedding. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic and all of our guests commented on how lovely the venue and staff were. A special thank you to the whole team for everything you did for us. You went above and beyond and played such a huge part in making our day so incredibly special. We even lost our bow tie, and the team kindly made us one from a pocket square — such a thoughtful and unforgettable touch! We genuinely couldn’t recommend The Plough enough to any couple looking for their perfect wedding venue. We will always have the most amazing memories of our wedding day here and are so g

We got married in February 2025 , the team was amazing from day 1: nothing was ever too much hassle, no hidden costs and they were always on hand to answer any questions! Regular meetings helped us to feel in control and calm! The day couldn’t have gone any better for us. It was perfect. Being a DIY bride, it was so nice to see my vision come to life. The staff also helped us to do a surprise gender reveal off of the balcony which was super special. Since the day we’ve had lots of comments from friends and family about how lovely the venue was and how amazing the

We had the best day ever at this venue from start to finish. The food and drink were excellent and fantastic value for money, and every single member of staff was exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble — they couldn’t do enough for us and made sure everything ran perfectly throughout the day. The whole experience felt relaxed, welcoming, and incredibly well organised, which meant we could truly enjoy every moment. We’re so grateful to the team for

We got married at the plough inn on 9th march 2025. From start to finish we had the most perfect day. All of the wedding team we super helpful when viewing the venue. Straight away we knew this would be our venue. We spent a few months looking at venues online and nothing caught our eye until we found the plough inn. The whole day ran effortlessly all thanks to the team. We love the cosy intimate feel in the rustic barn. We were provided with a list of suppliers they recommended which

Everything was so personal to us, and it was clear from start to finish that every last detail had been thoughtfully considered. It truly could not have been more perfect. The staff were absolutely incredible. the seamless planning and ensuring everything ran on time, we felt completely looked after from beginning to end. Even behind the scenes, there was always someone quietly making sure everything was running smoothly for us, which meant the world. From thoughtful little touches to making us feel calm and supported throughout the day, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The organisation and attention to detail throughout the planning process and on the day itself were outstanding. Knowing everything was in such capable hands allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. The service was fantastic, especially considering our large party, children running around, and guests who never quite stayed in their seats! Everything was handled brilliantly, calmly, and with a smile. There were also so many thoughtful moments throughout the day, including checking in on us regularly and small acts of kindness that didn’t go unnoticed and were so deeply appreciated. We honestly cannot thank The Plough enough for making our day so incredibly perfect. You went above and beyond in every possible way and accommodated all of our suppliers with such ease, making what we thought would be impossible completely achievable. We will be forever grateful for everythi

Not one stone was left unturned when it came to organising my perfect day! The venue is so charming - you really have to see it in the flesh to feel it's heart-warming grandeur (it also seems bigger in person too). The staff throughout the wedding barn and pub are professional yet friendly and fun - the coordinators especially are so kind, courteous and on the ball all day long from helping to keep the nerves at bay in the morning, rallying our guests around throughout the day and building a fantastic atmosphere - they are just fab! In the lead up, when table plan nightmares were occurring and some things along the way started to get complicated - just a quick chat with the team quickly diminished any worries and we were able to put a plan in place that worked really well (with their years of experience they have the knowledge to help you to curate the most brilliant day that is personal to you and your wedding party). The food was delicious, all our guests with special dietary requirements (many!) were catered to without any mistakes - the service was seamless - in fact the whole day was seamless. Every course is delicious however pudding always wins with us. It was just the best. We wish

The Plough is an absolute beautiful venue, myself and my now husband was ever so thrilled to be able to have our special day here. The staff were exceptional and helped/supported us through the process and were more than helpful especially when we had to change our ceremony from church to the venue itself. And to be honest it was a blessing as it made the day that extra special and beautiful. I have recommended the plough to friends who are brides to be as the prices, staff and location ticked all the boxes. It was very reasonable on prices of the venue hire/ceremony so that we were able to pay for more personal touches and entertainment for the day. The staff were very tentative even small things such as myself forgetting to print off the vows on the day, the staff did this for me and kept me so calm on the morning of. We couldn't be happier with the day, and the only negative is that the day went too quick! We will definitely be coming back to celebrate our wedding anniversary in their beautiful restaurant as the food does not disappoint! Thank

If we had to get married again tomorrow without hesitation we would go straight to the Plough wedding team, without hesitation. We can honestly say that our experience from the very first meeting to the next morning after the wedding breakfast has been way above what we expected.We found that whoever we dealt with from the wedding team they couldnt do enough and we soon found it so easy to communicate our ideas and also take ideas from them.On the day of the wedding I had a list of things to do ,such as gifts on tables,menu cards to be placed on tables to a seating plan,welcome table to set up and much more,on my arrival I was met by Savannah and Becky,I walked in and they immediately took over,I had nothing to do but go to the bridal suite and put on my suit,I never for one minute expected that level of help,these 2 girls I cannot praise high enough..Thankyou !!.The whole day went without a hitch,so many commenting on the service ,the amazing food and attention to detail,we felt at home in the most amazing wedding venue.Over the years we have been to many other wedding venues and can honestly say The Plough wins hands down .We had a budget and we kept to it which is

We had our amazing wedding day at The Plough Inn, Eaton, on the 5th of June this year. We first popped over to The Plough, just for a ride out to see where it was exactly, on the 17th of March 2024, and we asked if we could ‘pop’ our heads inside the Oak Barn to have a peek. Oh, my word, what an amazing venue this place is! This was the first venue we went to view, and we both fell in love with it immediately. So much so that we never visited anywhere else! Our day couldn’t have been any more perfect! The staff are absolutely amazing, they looked after us from the very first day we visited, right through to the time everyone went home at the end of our special day. The food was delicious! We gave our guests two options of what they wanted to eat, and we only found out on the day of the wedding that one of our guests had just been told that week that they had a dietary issue, which meant he couldn’t have the meal he had originally asked for. The kitchen staff had no problem organising a different meal for our guest to suit his dietary needs at the last minute. Every one of our guests commented on how delicious the food was. All of our guests said that it was an amazing venue and the best wedding they had been to. Jo and Laurie for everything they did, and to all the staff for making our day so perfect. The whole team were nothing sho

The perfect venue for our wedding! From our first meeting to the day itself, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they made planning the big day easy and stress free. The package we opted for was such a great price, food was delicious and they were flexible with vegan/drink options which helped us out a lot. The day itself was managed exceptionally and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!

I honestly don't know where to start with this review. Ryan and I said hes to the venue back in 2023 and for 2.5yrs the wedding team have just been amazing, constant communication, nothing was ever too much trouble, they were quick to emailed back (and I emailed a lot) they keep couples updated with upcoming events (I really recommend future couples attend the menj tasting, was a great evening). The wedding day went incredibly well, the two coordinators we had for the day kept us in the know of what to expect next, was reassuring me and helping with nerves, and were fantastic with all of our guests. The venue is absolutely stunning and every couple really can make it their own. I really cannot recommend this venue enough! Thank you to all the wonderful staff at The P
