before i start my review,
i would like to point out that i am a wedding photographer, so this review and the fact that my son selected this venue speaks volumes.

on the 22nd of October 2011, my son and daughter in law had their wedding here,
it was Batch's first ever greek wedding,
they catered for 260 people for all courses,
starter, main, dessert, coffee then fruit and various other dishes to finish.
the evening carried on right through to midnight,
and at no time did we feel we weren't welcome,
the staff were all dressed smartly,
(even when we turned up the evening before to deliver certain items, the staff were laying tables and were all dressed up in uniform, they could easily have been in jeans as they were not expecting us)

you would think they had been doing this forever,
it all ran smoothly,
food was served piping hot,
and no-one had to wait long for any courses.

i could tell how much everyone enjoyed themselves by the amount of discarded ties and cravattes i found in the car park the following morning :)

i have gone to a lot of trouble to write this, as i couldn't find a website with a feedback facility,
finally after at least an hour i found this one,
people are only too pleased to write negative reviews about wedding venues,
not this one..seamless is a word that describes how the evening went.
also it's not often you get James Brown at your wedding (joke) and he arranged for some lovely weather as well.

i think Batch have now planted themselves firmly in 'Large Wedding Venue' pole position.
big thank you to everyone at Batch.

best man at my mates wedding, dont think he would of found a better venue in the area.
james and his staff were fantastic and could not do enough for us, top marks to the kitchen staff as the food was unbelivable and the rest of the staff were very good. the grounds were perfect for the wedding pictures.

Having had my wedding here yesterday, I feel the need to express my gratitude to everyone at Batch Country House now, I could not imagine a smoother running day, nicer staff, better food, better grounds, or anything, anywhere else. And not only was the food quality, there was quantity, you definatley get your monies worth!

There was no problem too big or too small, it was worked out in the background before anyone knew there was an issue.

Highly recommend this venue, James Brown, and everyone at Batch for any occasion you will not be disappointed

James & all the staff at batch were nothing short of first class in ensuring that our wedding ran like clockwork. The venue was beautifully presented, especially the gardens & stunning ivory suite which definatley has the wow factor. The food was of a very high standard and the friendly staff ensured all guests were served promptly and courses all came out together with no one kept waiting. All in all nothing was too much trouble & I highly recommend this as a wedding venue. Cheaper than you may imagine too!
