Date Night Tasting Event

Deciding What to Serve

Your Day, Your Way


One of the best things about having your wedding at The Ashes Barns is that you’re not restricted to someone else’s idea of what your Wedding Breakfast meal should be, we don’t do set menus because we understand how personal food is.

We want you to be able to have a menu which really reflects you as a couple, your theme, your day and the season you’re getting married in.




Decisions, decisions!


There are endless possibilities to choose from and that’s wonderful but we also understand that making those choices can be a daunting task, that’s why we give couples the opportunity to attend one of our Date Night Tasting Events at the venue.

You'll join other couples who have chosen The Ashes Barns as their wedding venue, for a relaxed three course meal, freshly prepared and served by our catering partners, Jenkinsons.


A Warm Welcome


Upon arrival at the event you can look forward to trying a glass of bubbly from The Cellar and a tasty morsel from the canapé tray.

You'll indicate what you'd like to try when you book but the final dish will be decided by the Head Chef much closer to the event.

You can make some notes on the night about which dishes were your favourites. Even if you've already chosen your wedding menu it's great to try some of the other options available, you might just be inspired to make some changes to your menu!

Please Note: It is not possible to taste your specific wedding day menu at these events.




Wine Tasting


You’ll also get the opportunity to do a little wine tasting as the meal will be complemented by a couple of the fabulous wines available to order for your wedding through The Cellar.

We also encourage you to pre-order a tasting case of our amazing Cellar Wines to take home.

Always a tremendous success, these events make it so much easier for you to go away and make decisions about what you want to serve at your Wedding Breakfast.

(Where your Wedding Day falls within 9 months of booking The Ashes it may not be possible to attend a Tasting Event.)
