The Hammer and Pincers is a traditional and charming country pub. We can hold wedding ceremonies and receptions in our pub, in our garden or in our new Cruck Tent (to replace our aging Tipis) for 10 guests to 250. We love a great party, we have had the pleasure of being involved with over 200 events the last 9 years and can share lots of tips and ideas. Good food is our passion, we can provide afternoon tea, buffets, BBQ's, pizza's, Hog Roasts, family service/sharing style food and sit down meals. We can supply your welcome drinks, toast and a paid bar for your guests. Our Caravan and campsite has room for 20 caravans and 20 tents - why not have a mini festival ! We are flexible with budgets, just talk to us.
