West Country Wedding Venues #2 – River Cottage

Posted on 12 January 2012 at 1:52 am 2 Comments

I have been a very busy bees over the summer and autumn, buzzing all over Somerset, Dorset and Devon delivering delicious wedding cakes for our lovely customers. Some venues I just love to go back to time and again, not just because they are beautiful or have great amenities but because the teams at the venues stand out as professional and are warm and welcoming. So, if they are this nice to me as a supplier can you imagine how nice they are to their customers! I thought it would be a great idea to share with you some of my stand-out venues from this year in the hope that I can help you find that dream location for your special day.

In this second post on west country wedding venues I’m featuring a venue that I have visited and spent time at but not delivered to and one which might not have crossed your mind as a wedding venue at all. It’s the wonderfully rural River Cottage HQ.

We fought off stiff competition from some of the best cupcakers in the country to reach the prestigeous finals held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. We were very proud, not to mention star-struck, to have our cakes judged by the likes of Miss Cakehead, Eric Lanlard and Peggy Porschen to name just a few.
