You and the team at COB were fantastic yesterday!

Hi Sian Just wanted to say THANK YOU. You and the team at COB were fantastic yesterday and of course in the months of planning up to the event too. We’re so happy that we managed to pull our surprise off with your help. The weather was on our side and COB became the perfect venue for our celebrations. Nothing but compliments from all our guests from start to finish about the venue, staff and setting. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy a more relaxed dinner, date and dine soon.

The most beautiful day we could ever have imagined

We got married in January at The Cock O Barton and it was the most amazing day! We wanted to do some things ourselves to stay within budget and Sian was always happy to help and accommodate us! The food was incredible and our guests commented on how chilled and relaxed the whole day was as we had the entire place to ourselves. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and we were allowed to decorate it with our own finishing touches, which again helped us to stay within budget. We couldn’t fault any part of the day and Sian made sure that we understood every step of the way and helped us with any decisions. I honestly think it could not have been a better day and I would recommend anybody to go and see the venue for their own special day!

We couldn’t have ask for a better day, it was perfect. Sian and the team at Cock o’Barton made us feel so welcome when we first went for a viewing, straight away we knew we found the best place for us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Sian remained in contact throughout the wedding planning process and made us feel at ease. The day went smoothly, everything was in order and the team looked after us. It was the most perfect day. Since the wedding day we have had friends and family saying how amazing the venue and the team were on the day. Thank you for making our wedding so special and memorable. It was the best day.

For us, a very,very special day.

What can we say, we had the most magical day ever. From start to finish the service we got was outstanding. All the staff were very attentive and made sure that the day went without any problems. The food was excellent and all our guests were very complimentary. The venue was perfect for us, having use of the courtyard was a bonus and the setting for the photos was ideal.

Our magical wedding day

Our experience from start to finish with the staff at the Cock O'Barton was faultless, Sian the wedding planner was a star, so helpful and full of good ideas, she made you feel very special, On the day we could not have wished for any more than they delivered, it was seamless. The venue was perfect for our wedding, small and intimate with a very personal touch. The food was amazing, and the feedback from all our guest was extremely complimentary.

Perfect from start to finish

We chose COB as our venue for a few reasons; we’ve always loved the food and atmosphere here, the layout was perfect for us and it’s always had a very welcoming feel to whenever we’ve dined here. We wanted to get married somewhere that we could return to for special occasions. Mothers days, birthdays, date nights, family occasions- we will often return and reminisce! Our wedding day was perfect here. COB went above and beyond to make it special and the staff were absolutely fantastic. We can’t thank COB enough and this place will always hold a special place in our hearts. Food, preparation, how the day played out perfectly is all down to the hard work of the staff- it was all absolutely gorgeous. Thank you again.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Cock O'Barton?

It would be impossible for me to answer this question as we genuinely love every wedding we do. Also because we offer a bespoke service, no two weddings are ever the same which is the best part of the job

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't get weighed down with everyone's opinions, stay true to what you want & ignore any unnecessary negative opinions. Also, utilise your wedding coordinator. We want the planning of your special day to be fun & stress free, so treat us like your new best friend happy to help with any question no matter how big or small.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A few years ago a groom proposed to his bride over a cup of tea & ginger biscuit. We loved the proposal story so much we decided to base their dessert option by using a gingernut biscuit base & the guests loved it!

Describe The Cock O'Barton in 5 adjectives

Relaxed, Informal, casual, comfortable, different

Where’s the best photo spot at The Cock O'Barton?

We are fortunate to have so many great spots for pictures but my favourite has to the corn fields with views of the Welsh mountains, perfect for a romantic sunset shot

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Cock O'Barton?

Gosh how long do you have for me to answer this one! We have been very fortunate to host a range of interesting names from Ainsley Harriott who is quite the character, Michael Owen, Ian Rush who dines in our restaurant on a regular basis & the most recent claim to fame is Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney using our ceremony room to film an interview for the documentary 'This is Wrexham' which was a real pinch me moment

What’s your favourite canapé?

We have so many canapes to choose from but my absolute favourite has to be maple & bourbon glazed pork belly

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Beer battered fish & chips is a crowd pleaser but for something extra special I would opt for our gooey mac 'n' cheese

What is The Cock O'Barton most unique feature?

This has to be the quirky artwork on the walls of our courtyard. When you first spot them most couples have to do a double take, but after taking a step back they are very cool pieces of art & provide a great Insta shot

What part of your business are you most proud of?

This is an easy one to answer as we are most proud of our staff. Every member of the team takes pride in their work, love what they do & will always put our couples first no matter what crazy request I throw at them!
