Boutique Country Wedding…
Perfect for smaller weddings is an elegant country pub, renowned for its beautiful village location, stunning countryside views and of course, food that is refined, seasonal and packed with flavour
The Rum Fox at Grindleton launched last year, and fast forward to 2024, the inn has forged a reputation for its fabulous seasonal menus and it’s laid-back, sophisticated country vibe.
It has also become a popular destination for smaller, intimate weddings – the wedding party taking over the whole of the Rum Fox with its country-style bar, restaurant, intimate private dining and the wonderful garden room with its retractable roof – perfect for summer weddings!
Chef patron Bob Geldeard is at the heart of the Rum Fox, devising day-to-day menus as well as bespoke menus for celebratory events – including weddings.
Bob’s style of cooking is classic-contemporary, taking full advantage of seasonality, creating dishes that are super-delicious with a presentation that is absolutely flawless!
Transforming from sophisticated country pub to delightful wedding venue is a transition that is ultimately easy for this relaxed, classic space that has style in abundance. Catering for 60 to 70 guests, the bar area and garden room make for a wonderfully, friendly drinks reception, before moving into the lovely dining room to enjoy dishes that have been totally tailor-made for the wedding party in the atmospheric restaurant, where diners can watch the expert chefs in action.
In the evening enjoy drinks and dancing under the stars in the garden room – this is a unique magical experience!
In the cooler months, the roaring log fires, cosy armchairs and country interior make for a very special, intimate backdrop where guests can easily mingle in this relaxed, comfortable space.
Wowing guests with his stunning, creative dishes, chef Bob delights in formulating menus that are totally bespoke to each specific occasion: “Seasonality is always important to us,” explains Bob. “The pub menu changes from week to week depending on what’s available while bespoke menus can feature whatever guests require, although I am always happy to recommend what’s in season.”
Holding exclusive weddings and private celebrations has been something that has evolved at the Rum Fox, which recently won the Best New Tourism Business Award at the Lancashire Tourism Awards.
Not surprisingly, the pub attracts diners from across the region who are keen to sample a piece of the Ribble Valley that is centred around culinary excellence and country elegance.
Alongside weddings, The Den private dining space caters for up to12 people for small celebrations for family, friends or for corporate dining.
For wedding enquiries do not hesitate to get in touch with Bob and his team at the Rum Fox. A limited number of dates are available for this year and 2025.
