We can't thank Sue and Simon and all the staff for all their help. Everyone has told us what a wonderful time they had and how much they enjoyed the food.. The place looked stunning, the buffet was huge, and the staff, although very busy serving everyone, always did so efficiently and with a smile.. If you're planning a party, the Pond Barn is the place. We'll defiantly be back!We recently had our wedding reception here and what a brilliant time it was!.
