The Stone Trough Inn

We had our wedding at Stone Trough Inn last week and we could not recommend it highly enough! Philippa was excellent in the planning stage, no request too big or small. You can really make your wedding your own. The decorations were perfect and totally in fitting with our colours and flowers. We went for the upgraded buffet which exceeded our expectations- several guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had! The evening food (we chose pies, pasties and pickles) also went down an absolute treat! Philippa was brilliant on the day itself and made the whole day run smoothly! All of the staff at Stone Trough were so nice, friendly and professional. The pub itself is great with a lovely outside space, great view and is close e

We recently got married at the end of July here and had the most magical day! We could not recommend booking here enough and if we were to do it all again (which we would love to) we would be straight back! Ever since our first meeting with Philippa, the organisation and professionalism of the team was great! There was minimal stress leading up to our big day, the day itself ran so smoothly (due to Philippa's and the teams great efforts) meaning we had a relaxed, enjoyable time. The deal met our budget perfectly but in hindsight, if it was to cost more, we would pay it everytime! The food and drink which was included was amazing- the food was so tasty and portions were very suitable, it felt like we managed to treat all our guests to a lovely day out! All the staff involved in the day were helpful and welcoming. Everyone was there to help and paid special attention to my bride and I when necessary. The whole day was magical. The venue boasts gorgeous views and being able to go down to the priory gives this venue an added bonus! We cannot thank Philippa and the team at The Stone Trough enough for how special they made our big day. If you are lucky enough to

We had our wedding reception at The Stone Trough in June 26 and couldn't recommend it enough. I would say our guest list was on the lower side (50) so this was the perfect setting for us, not to mention the amazing views! Being able to have photos at Kirkham Priory is an added bonus. We only had two meetings with Philippa before the wedding, she just asked us a few questions on what we wanted and then everything was done as we had imagined and more. Totally stress free! The venue and team were a hit with all of our guests, everything went seamlessly on their part and they couldn't do enough for us. The food was fabulous, with everyone commenting on how good it was including t

We recently celebrated our wedding at this venue, and it exceeded all our expectations. From our first visit through to the wedding day itself, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful surroundings and a warm, elegant atmosphere that impressed all of our guests. The staff worked seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly and allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional, and every detail was handled with care. We received so many compliments from family and friends about the venue and the overall experience. We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved for helping create such wonderful memories. We would highly

We can never thank Philippa and the team at Stone Trough Inn enough for our perfect day on the 5th May, 2026. From our first visit, to our final goodbye, the Stone Trough was nothing short of amazing! The venue? A beautiful, hidden gem! The food? Utterly divine! The staff? So patient and understanding to our every need! Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was, how friendly the staff were, and how excited they were to return in their own time. As a couple with a limited budget, I truly thought our 'perfect day' just wasn't possible. The Stone Trough Inn did more than prove me wrong - it blew every expectation out o

We got married at The Stone Trough Inn in early April 2026 and it was the best decision!! From start to finish, Philippa was so incredibly helpful and went over and above to make it perfect for us! She was available to answer any questions and to give advice when I had no clue what I was doing!! Philippa - you are absolutely amazing and made the whole process so easy! The list of local suppliers was so helpful too - Langton Hall for accommodation, Angela Waites photography and Ellie Fenwick Makeup were all recommended from Philippa and were incredible too! On the day, the staff went above and beyond - the venue looked amazing which is all thanks to Philippa and the team! Another shout of for Philippa who came to the rescue and managed to find a lost ring in the ceremony! The warmth and laughter from all the staff throughout the day was lovely and made the place feel even more comfortable and relaxed. The food was incredible - the gluten free fish and chip evening buffet was amazing (you have to try the fried halloumi too!) I cannot recommend The Stone Trough Inn enough - it was incredible!! I can’t wait to go visit again fo

Me and my partner recently had our wedding hear and it was the most perfect day. The staff were amazing and supportive ther

Me and my partner got married at the Stone Trough Inn on Nov 8th and I cant recommend the venue enough. From day 1 to the big day, Phillipa and her staff couldnt do enough for us. We had multiple meeting at the Stone Trough to discuss any issues we had and all our queries were always met with positivity and solutions. The location of the venue was perfect for the intimate wedding we wanted. It is a beautiful countryside venue to match the views surrounding it. The big days itself couldnt have gone any smoother and thats all down to the great work of Phillipa and her team. They completely decorated the entire venue in the morning with the decorations we provided allowing myself and my partner to enjoy our mornings apart and prepare for the day ahead. (The execution of the decorations was perfection). The Wedding breakfast and food for the evening was incredible. Even though our wedding was a few months ago now we still get family and friends labelling it as 'the best wedding food they have had'. The staff on the day were more than accommodating, they genuinely felt like part of the celebrations and by the end of the night ended up knowing most of the guests by there first name which set a really nice vibe. Phillipa and her team constantly checked in on me and my now wife to make sure we were having the best day possible and didn't need anything. The Stone Trough has become more than a wedding venue for us. Due to amazing experience we had, we now see the Stone Trough Inn as more of a tradit

The day was flawless from start to finish! Every Moment from getting out of the car to the last dance was perfect. ALL the staff were excellent, so professional and attentive! Philippa was amazing throughout the planning process - helped with all ideas and was very accommodating to changes and on the day she again was amazing and made sure everything was on point. The decor was done to such a high standard, the change overs were seamless. The FOOD was outstanding huge compliments to the chef, allowed us to

We had our winter wedding here on the 13th December 2025 and just WOW. Our vibe was cozy, personal and festive, Phillipa and her team absolutely nailed it. From the first wedding meetings all the way through till weeks after the wedding still checking up on us, the service has been second to none. Phillipa was very professional yet felt like I had a bridal bestie who knew exactly what I wanted without me having to go crazy, she’s a credit to her job and made our day feel so easy, special and put together. It was perfect. THE FOOD was genuinely unreal, we had the ‘posh buffet’ and literally everyone was saying how nice it was, it looked and tasted 100/10 I was actually taken a back by how good it was! The canapés and drinks were amazing, everything was just brilliant and I couldn’t recommend The Stone Trough, Phillipa and her team more! There’s also Kirkham Abbey just do

From start to finish Philippa and team went above and beyond to make our wedding the most perfect day, attention to detail was second to none, the food was impeccable and the whole wedding party had the most amazing day! Nothing was too much for Philippa, last minute changes and plans and she still perfectly orchestrated the whole day! If we could do it all over again we wouldn’t change a thing and the Stone Trough would be our number one choice with its amazing views and beautiful charm. Thank you so much to all the

We got married here in September 2025 and the whole experience, from setting a date to the actually day itself was absolutely incredible. We were nervous about setting a date with just 7 weeks notice, but Phillipa was on hand at all times to help us navigate the decisions needed. Nothing was too much! The day itself was seamless!! And the food, wow! We had nothing but compliments about how beautiful the food was, and it really was amazing! The staff went out of their way all day and night to ensure that our guests and ourselves were looked after at every point. I cannot rate this venue high enough! What an

The Stone Trough Inn is a intimate venue with amazing views, All the staff are very attentive and are committed to making your special day go as smoothly as possible so you have nothing to think about other than enjoying every moment. The quality of the food and presentation was outstanding, as well as effortlessly catering for all dietary requirements. I couldn't re

From the moment we walked into the venue to make the first enquiry, to the moment we left on the wedding day, everything was exactly as we wanted it. We had a very clear idea of what we wanted, and nothing was too much bother. Their wedding specialist was great throughout, and was very receptive to what we wanted. She wasnt overbearing or pushy at all, and we genuinely felt they cared more about making our day special than the bottom line . Other venues we had approached definitely didnt recognise this. The chef was amazing, and the food top notch. The attention to detail, and the service throughout couldnt have been better. A big thank you to all in

Our wedding was the most perfect day thank you to The Stone Trough Inn. Philippa ensured everything ran incredibly smoothly and our vision was perfectly executed. The food was incredible. The staff were amazing. And of course, the views and setting is just stunning. The ideal venue!!!
