Description

Congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for considering The Plough at Eaton for your special day! The Inn dates back to the 15th Century and was formerly a small farm and coaching inn. The gorgeous Oak Barn dates back to as long ago as the 13thCentury, and was transported from its home in the quiet Welsh hills to the village of Eaton in the late 20thCentury, where it was carefully restored to create a stunning wedding and events venue perfect for you. With an idyllic atmosphere, impeccable catering and the perfect mix of accommodation the Plough at Eaton offers you the perfect setting for your wedding with a difference. We can cater for both small and larger events, and can do anything to make your event as unique or traditional as you require. The medieval Oak Barn is a licensed venue to hold Civil Ceremony weddings for up to 85 guests. We can also accommodate up to 115 guests for your celebration in the Barn for your wedding breakfast. The Plough Inn has 17 en-suite bedrooms to offer to you and your guests, including double, twin and family rooms.

Amazing Venue, Amazing pricing and fantastic service

The venue was absolutely stunning, accommodating to my specific requests and provided the best service I could have asked for. Everything went smoothly, the food was great, we got married on a Monday and had an amazing time right up to the end. For anyone working to a smaller wedding budget, these are your guys, and not at any point do you feel you get what you paid for, in fact, you get MORE!

Best day of our lives

We had the most magical day so thank you to all the team and staff for the wonderful service, food and venue. We absolutely stuck gold with our luck with the weather as it was crisp blue skies in the middle of October which just made everything even more beautiful. The process of viewing booking and having our meetings was so easy and streamlined. I’m quite a control freak but I felt so at ease and simply able to enjoy my day with my husband! We’ve had so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, big and spacious the rooms are. Everything was perfect from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend them enough. The team at The Plough Inn made our day so memorable and perfect. A day truly to be remembered by us all
