A Welly-Wanger of a Wedding!
If you’d like to get hitched in the sticks, then the Ox Barn at the 300-year-old Durham Ox in Crayke, North Yorkshire, is sure to put the country life into married life.
After ‘I do’ in Crayke’s pretty village church, you and your guests can stroll down hill to the inn wellies optional for reception cocktails (Oxtini anyone?), enjoyed by a roaring fire, or share Chef’s Canapes in a bunting-strewn barn with views over the rolling Hambleton Hills.
Family run for the last 15 years, this stunning country inn will put the special touches into tying the knot with a dedicated wedding co-coordinator, master of ceremonies and smartly-dressed waiting staff for the big day, and, of course, a bespoke menu of award-winning, locally sourced food.
Preview your menu with a complimentary pre-wedding tasting and go country cool (think truffle risotto, roast fillet of salmon and Eton Mess) with a formal wedding breakfast for 100, or country casual (rustic pates, Bangers & Mash, warm Bakewells and apple crumble) with a country bumpkin buffet, set in the beautifully converted Ox Barn.
Or perhaps you’d like to relish the great outdoors with a Gourmet Yorkshire BBQ, complete with proper Yorkshire bangers, or afternoon tea of scones, jam and cream on vintage crockery with lashings of ginger beer.
And for an added wow to your vows, The Durham Ox has partnered with top wedding planner Jane Nordli to offer magnificent private parties in the shadow of the ruins of Byland Abbey, just 10 minutes away.
So go on, put some welly into your wedding with a classic country shindig at The Durham Ox.
