Notley Tythe Barn

overview

The Reynolds family have been farming Notley for over 350 years. Which is why, when they transformed the barn into a romantic wedding venue, Nick and Denise wanted to make sure that it shared the same family-run feel as the rest of the farm. “The idea wasn’t simply to create a place which people could book for a reception and then end up arranging everything themselves.” explains Denise, “We decided we should provide a complete hosting service too.” Every detail is meticulously planned in advance, from the ceremony (Notley has a civil licence which means couples can get married at the barn as well as hold receptions) to the seating, the music and the food and drinks.

Notley’s Chef Peter, has been at the barn for over a year and prepares dishes every bit the sumptuous equal of the venue itself. Peter has revelled in the freedom given to him by Nick and Denise to conjure a menu that like the barn is routed in the countryside.
