As we never eat out would like some ideas where would be the best place for a small diamond wedding party in the summer, not too fancy or "foreign", would need to be a lunchtime for about 20. Any ideas ?

Tewin Bury Farm are always good for such occasions in my experience. You could probably book the back room of the restaurant there.

I had a great meal there a couple of weeks back when my parents came over for the day. Can never remember the name of it. Been there about 5/6 times as well. Cromwell's does 'ring a bell' though.

Thanks we had been debating the Salisbury but didn't know anyone that had eaten there recently, 3 Lakes was another thought as they have a room for small parties I think...............will investigate them both!! Don't think Dad could manage the walking at Fanhams but it is a thought.

I'd very much recommend the George and Dragon at Watton at Stone, always great food and there are two intimate rooms that you can hire for small(ish) groups. http://www.georgeanddragon.co.uk/

Went in to the Salisbury to enquire, having waited for a while I rung the bell and waited some more, eventually one of the ladies who was serving food came and said "she is very busy is it important?" I assume she was reffering to the receptionist..................not a good start will have to go back and give it another go! Got a much better reception when I enquired at the Whistling Duck........still deciding though!

I went to a friends wedding there late last year and everything was good. Staff were brilliant and the food aswell. According to the bride the manager was very helpful.
