The Pump House was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue - it has a uniqueness that we could really capitalise on as well as being able to bring in our own catering and other suppliers. The staff helped everything run smoothly, especially on the day, and all in all made the planning as easy as possible.
Everything went really smoothly, all our questions got answered and the staff was great! Can definitely recommend.
We had our wedding here so rented the whole venue - everything was perfect and the team where great! food fantastic too!
Agata was extremely efficient and her professionalism and enthusiasm made planning our reception much easier. The Service we received from the Dickens Inn has been super, great value and that location is just fantastic. The Function Suite is a lovely space and our reception was well managed. The food is of great quality and the chef was able to accommodate a couple of last minute allergy requirements.
The venue's appearance is stunning and quirky, which is why we chose it. Also there is huge flexibility to take up as much or as little space as you need for your party using different areas or studios and to arrange a band, food, bar etc how it suits you. Sylvia was very helpful and accommodating throughout and oversaw every detail on the day so we could just enjoy our own party. Guests loved it.
It's a very original venue, with a good mix of spaces. Lots of potential to do what you want, flexible space. Lucy, the venue manager, was very helpful and accommodating. Easy to access for site visits.
Friendly and accommodating staff (especially Dan), great quality food and drink. Lovely venue in a great location. Jen was very helpful and responsive and even replied to an email whilst in labour! Would highly recommend for a wedding venue.
Venue location and layout and everything about it just beautiful. Amanda the events manager very helpful in every way and respond to our queries promptly and she was there on the day to make everything run smoothly. Food especially canapés, sides and starters were amazing and great choices. Everyone loved the food, venue and ambience. It was the perfect place for us.
