COVID-19 Update – 6th October 2020
Further to the latest Government Announcement we are responding with zero notice to another huge change to Weddings Guidelines. Please understand we cannot have all the answers immediately or deal with everyone’s queries all at once so we would be very grateful for your patience as we are still working with a reduced Office Team.
For any Couples wishing to proceed with a small ceremony and reception, we have options available, and have updated our wedding and reception packages for 15. You can see these on our Special Offer Page. We would be more than happy to talk you through the details of how ceremonies and receptions can work at South Farm. So please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you and help plan your wedding!
To help sustain us through this period and make use of the abundance of fruit and vegetables growing in our smallholding we are delighted to be hosting Pop-Up Restaurant Events for anyone who would like to come and spend an evening with us at South Farm! We hope the opportunity to come and eat some amazing home-grown South Farm food might brighten these difficult times! A big thank you to all those who attended our Pop Up Evenings already.
We are delighted to announce two further Pop Up Restaurant Events on Saturday 7th November and Saturday 21st November!! We will have a fabulous new seasonal menu for our November Events. This will be a stunning six-course chef’s taster menu featuring seasonal produce from our Garden. The menu is priced at £67.50 per person. The evenings will start at 6.30pm and include a welcome drink on arrival. The meal will be served in the Tudor Barn at 6.45pm. Please telephone 01223 207581 or email emily@south-farm.co.uk to make a reservation or for more information. We do need a minimum of 30 guests to make these evenings viable so if we cannot achieve this then we will refund everything in full.
Showrounds are now being conducted on a restricted and ‘Covid-safe’ basis. If you would like to visit an experienced member of our team would love to show you round and prepare an estimate based on your ideas. The showround will be socially distanced (we have plenty of space!) and handwashing facilities /sanitising will be available for all our visitors on arrival, doors will remain open and hand sanitising stations will be present in all of our indoor spaces, gloves and masks for those that wish!. Visits to South Farm will be available for prospective couples only (maximum two people and sorry no children allowed either at the moment) and are bookable by appointment only. Please contact the office on 01223 207581 between 9am and 4pm or email info@south-farm.co.uk to book an appointment. Autopilot visits are welcome too but currently only during the week (preferably Wednesdays) and not weekends as we need to manage numbers on site at any one time.
We have some fantastic Summer 2021 dates available!! Bank Holiday Monday 31st May, Friday 25th June, Saturday 26th June, Monday 28th June, Sunday 4th July, Saturday 17th July and Saturday 21st August!!
