Caterers are welcome to use our Plates and Cutlery but please note that you will be reposnisble for their care and for washing them up after use in the potwash area as we do not have a front of house team.
We perfer Caterers to cook in the BBQ as it allows for Caterers to have privacy while working. We will then send guests round to get their food table by table in the abscence of table service.
We do not have a food and hygiene licsence so External Caterers will need to provide evidence they do have one of their own.
The Venue Staff cannot serve or handle food.

We perfer DJ’s to work up on our mezzamine floor that overlooks the dancefloor to make best use of the space in the Venue
During the Event we will make regular sound checks up the road to ensure that the music level remains at level respectable to our neighbours. We will always keep you informed of this or any noise complaints.
During an Event should the DJ be encharge of any ceremony music, first dance songs or introducing the cake cutting we will liason with you during the day to make you aware of timings or any changes to schedule to ensure a smooth running of the Event.
Liscensing requires music to be stopped at 23:00 hours. We will then turn the lights on to signal to guests that the evening is coming to an end. Someone will remain on site for you to pack up and say goodbye when leaving.

We do have two beer taps for Bars setting up in the kitchen area. This is for Bar Suppliers only rather than self caterered Bars.
Mobile Bars are responsible for their own Rubbish and for the washing up of any glasses used. Staff will be on site to help with this when the bar is very Busy.

“Shirley, Bronwyn and the rest of the team go above & beyond for every wedding and event they host at Hoad Farm Barn. It is a pleasure to work with them to offer catering and cakes, if I ever need assistance to ensure the couple’s dream come to life they do everything to make sure it goes off without a hitch.
I highly recommend Hoad Farm Barn to any couple looking to get married at this venue, or anyone looking to hire for a private event.” – Geena Frow from The Cake Club
“Hoad Farm Barn is a great wedding venue. It is extremely easy to find yet it is off the beaten track located in the countryside on a beautiful farm. Hoad Barn has lots of space and gives you so much potential to create a layout that suits you and your guest numbers. Bronwyn is beyond accommodating, always smiling and has a lovely bubbly sense of humour. I have worked at this venue as a makeup artist on many occasions and the environment is always so chilled and inviting.” – Amy Charlotte from AmyCharlotteMakeupAritist
“Absolutely amazing venue. The staff are so friendly, the space is so stunning and the grounds are absolutely perfect. I love how the cottages on site are renovated to such a lovely standard, it’s perfect for larger events and weddings. Any time we come to an event here it’s just a wonderful experience.” – Maisie from Blooming Roza Flowers
