The Buttery and Glasshouse at The Bull Hotel Full Description
The Buttery and Glasshouse is a spectacular space blending old and new, discreetly tucked behind the 14th century coaching inn. It is a postcard perfect, one-stop destination venue offering couples all they need and a hidden surprise for expectant guests. It is a venue like no other, this is not your average Kentish barn. Designed with spatial flow in mind, the wedding day moves seamlessly between spaces. The Buttery works in perfect harmony with The Glasshouse and the final result is an awe-inspiring, contemporary and innovative backdrop to provide a lasting impact on guests’ memories of the wedding. . Offering two different styles of package designed to bring ease and joy to your wedding planning journey: All-Inclusive Indulgent Package - Our 'all singing, all dancing' fully inclusive packages provide a platform for couples to achieve the wedding day of their dreams. Build Your Own’ Bespoke Package - Our exciting new style of wedding package offers our couples more of a creative lead. Our “build your own” style caters to all budgets and allows couples to select only the elements of the package that they actually want. . With a ‘home from home’ hotel ethos, we strive to offer the very best service and quality food at a beautiful venue with helpful and attentive staff. With everything under the same roof, we offer on-site catering, a stunning honeymoon suite, plus 10 ensuite boutique bedrooms for your guests. A true foodie paradise: crafted canapés, artisan pizzas, cheese and charcuterie spreads, grazing tables, smokehouse feasts, wholesome desserts, three-course wedding breakfasts, festival food stalls… all prepared using local suppliers, family run farms and artisan producers. Do you prefer a weekday wedding? Is a Sunday wedding your dream date? What about extending it to a whole bank holiday weekend? Far from one-fits-all, The Bull Hotel is probably the only venue in Kent that really offers bespoke, build your own packages (and payment plans).

A fabulous all year round wedding venue!

From the first time we dropped in for a drink to take a look at The Bull Hotel, to our initial meeting, to the wonderful wedding open day visit with family, to our actual wedding, the staff and service has been fantastic. The Glasshouse and Buttery is a fabulous all year round wedding venue that is light and airy and gets a 10 out of 10 for service, location, comfort and the best cosmopolitan cocktails!

Best day and excellent service

What an amazing wedding we had on 4th October 2023. From the first time we dropped in for a drink to take a look at The Bull Hotel, to our initial meeting, to the wonderful wedding open day visit with family, to our actual wedding, the staff and service has been fantastic. We didn’t want a DJ or sit down 3 course meal including wine. Nothing was too much trouble. We used their wedding packages as a guide, discussed everything at our initial meeting and they gave us a bespoke price for exactly the elements we wanted. We were blessed with great weather for October. Our civil ceremony was at 4.30pm in the Buttery, with cocktails and canapés on the terrace and a delicious smokehouse buffet in the glasshouse, followed by cakes and a sweetie table. For entertainment we decided to have a caricaturist The Artful Doodler and magic and mind reading by Robert Fox. Despite being a Wednesday family and friends decided to book all the rooms and we gathered together for a delicious breakfast the next morning. The Glasshouse and Buttery is a fabulous all year round wedding venue that is light and airy and gets a 10 out of 10 for service, location, comfort and the best cosmopolitan cocktails 🍸 Mr & Mrs Fisher

I can't imagine having got married anywhere else!

The Buttery and Glasshouse is stunning, and I honestly can't imagine us having got married anywhere else now! We didn't see another venue that was anything like as special as this - the spaces, surroundings, and design are all gorgeous and provide a really flexible setting for whatever kind of wedding you're envisaging. You can style it in so many ways, but it's also really beautiful even without tons of added decoration.

Our dream venue, food, team and day!

The Buttery and Glasshouse is stunning, and I honestly can't imagine us having got married anywhere else now! We didn't see another venue that was anything like as special as this - the spaces, surroundings, and design are all gorgeous and provide a really flexible setting for whatever kind of wedding you're envisaging. You can style it in so many ways, but it's also really beautiful even without tons of added decoration. The food was out of this world - multiple guests have said it was one of the best meals of their life! We really wanted excellent food without having the wedding anywhere really formal or exclusive, and it honestly couldn’t have been better than it was. We also had a delicious evening buffet and next morning breakfast which was all amazing too. We were just blown away by how wonderful our wedding day was, and so much of that was down to the incredible team at The Buttery and Glasshouse. We worked with Leigh Anne when we first booked our wedding there at the start of this year, and subsequently with Catherine as our wedding coordinator. A month after the big day, we’re missing being in touch with them, as they’d become like friends to us. They couldn’t have done more - they are warm and personable, communicative, and super organised. We had total confidence in their ability to deliver everything we discussed, and also loved that they were so receptive to ideas rather than sticking to a package of limited options. Our day felt so personal and full of joy, largely thanks to the talented people we worked with who made it possible for us to bring our vision to life. Beyond the coordinators, we found all the staff (Dionne, Emma, everyone!) we interacted with totally competent and so lovely - and it all added to the ease and atmosphere of a beautiful day. We will be grateful to the whole team at The Bull always for the most perfect day that we can't stop talking about!

Our guest where over the moon with everything

From the very moment we stepped into the bull hotel we just knew this was the venue for us, the most incredible members of staff who honestly cannot do enough for you. We had great communication throughout from our first visit with Leigh Anne to our final meeting with Emma. The ladies at the Glasshouse are fantastic. The food was incredible on the day and also the breakfast the next day. Our guest where over the moon with everything just like us!

A unique venue like no other

We have worked at the Buttery/Glass House for over 6 years now and it has been a pleasure throughout. The team are one of the most professional and accommodating in the business, and they have always offered us flexibility and a helping hand, something extremely rare within the wedding industry. The venue has evolved over the years and is looking the best it ever has. The stunning Glass House offers a unique venue like no other in Kent, and the beautiful rustic Buttery still has plenty to offer making it a wonderfully versatile venue. We treasure our relationship with the Buttery/Glass House and look forward to many more years working alongside them.
