We held our wedding reception here in the 26th October and it was fantastic. We had a sit down meal for 15 then evening there was approx 100 people. Food was amazing everyone commented on it and the quality. Bar well stocked and cocktails on the menu now which were very nice. Staff were very friendly and would do anything to help. Beautiful setting by the river crouch, our photos are amazing. Thank you all for making our day so special More...

We hired the Brandy Hole for our wedding in September. The venue is in a beautiful setting overlooking the River Crouch. The whole team at Brandy Hole could not have done enough for us on our special day and contributed to a brilliant day. Special thank you to our events manager Debbie, who even went to the lengths of giving our Mum's car a jump start at midnight when battery had gone flat More...

Booked this venue back in March to host my wedding which took place yesterday and I have to say the staff and management there made the day such a wonderful success. The food was amazing, the staff were so attentive and helpful and all my 170 guests enjoyed a fabulous party. The brandy hole is a hidden gem in a beautiful riverside location perfect for a celebration. My new husband and I recommend you check it out. Thank you all at the Brandy Hole, you went above and beyond to make our day much more than the best it could be. THANK YOU the Huet-Murphy's. More...

Wonderful venue, and Amanda's enthusiasm is fantastic. She really went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. Our caterers also found the venue a pleasure to work with. It's a beautiful spot and nice that you're not just one of many functions in the day. We got married abroad and had a UK reception/party here, our friends and family also loved it, and at a very competitive price for a fabulous location and service. More...

We have become quite regular customers of the Brandy Hole and it is a little hidden gem. The outside of the building can be a little off-putting at first as it has no character whatsoever.
But it all changes inside..... upstairs the restaurant/bar is beautifully decorated in New England style. Squashy sofas welcome you while you wait to be seated or just to have tea with friends. The vista from the many windows is stunning and obviously everyone wants to sit next to them so it is a gamble even if requested on booking. But there are NO bad views!
The Sunday lunches are wonderful and the specials are just that - enjoyed every meal I have had there. The service is friendly and efficient. Be prepared for a bumpy journey getting there as it is down a very winding road with numerous speed humps to ensure the residents don't get disturbed by the hungry hordes
