Up until recently we'd found a perfect place for a venue called Cripps Barn in Bibury. We've wanted a medieval setting since we talked about getting married but my hopes were dashed recently when Cripps told me the only catering that could be provided was their own, and I have some seriously picky eaters and allergy-sufferers! As posh as their buffet selections are, it isn't suitable for certain tastes, so I'm kind of ticked off that I have to start again - especially as I've yet to find another venue in Swindon that I like.
Pubs are automatically ruled out, most hotel function rooms are too modern and we're unable to change. Should I just hire a large blank function room and hire some furniture?

wont they make sone alterations to your catering requirements,i know the company we'v hired have been fantastic and made a few changes for us

Apparently their menu is already "catered to various" tastes when in fact if someone doesn't like fish (like my chief bridesmaid) they're screwed. I have vegans, vegetarians, IBS sufferers, wheat and gluten food allergies, nut allergies, allsorts! They just won't wiggle!

I think any venue worth hiring, would do their best to bend a little. Try this link

If they will only let you use there catering they should be open to giving you choice, all the venues I have spoken to said they are happy to do anything that we want and can design a menu with us. Food is a big deal. I'm having my fav (hunters chicken) and oh is picking something too then 2 other main options
