Brilliant place, I attended as a supplier for a wedding ceremony, where we set up a 360 booth. I have to say the venue was fantastic, the garden area also spacious. The reason for the 5 star rating was that the staff and management were very friendly and helpful, which is so important alongside venue!

A lovely venue for small events with high a ramp walk. I had a lovely time during a lady's only event, it has spacious parking too. On the downside, it is very inside the country side, surrounded by a lakeside, so if you love nature vibes and are happy to drive deep on country roads, you will love this majestic venue.

Attended a wedding here . Would be nice if the venue had clear signs on route as it was confusing to get too. The hall was nice but the bathroom could do with an upgrade and on chilly evenings the heating could do with cranking up. Parking is directly outside the venue which is always a plus point.

Had a family wedding at Blotts at the weekend and we had a amazing experience. The New Ownership has made some changes which make a big difference and the management team on the day was Fantastic. They had planned things so well and the changes we requested on the day where dealt with in a quick and efficient way to not effect the guests enjoying themselves. Wish them all the best, if they keep to them standards they wont have any problems.

Great venue for smaller Asian weddings but you will need to make sure that there are enough waiters to cater properly and speedily for your guests. That said there is a wonderful stage, a nice outdoor area for spring and summer (perfect for children and adults alike) and plenty of parking. It has that cozy feel about it - plush carpet and wooden decor.

Wow.Want to say a massive Thank you to Geoff Blott and all his amazing team for organising Chloe and Jamie's wedding on saturday.From the minute we met to discuss everything we were put totally at ease and came away feeling very confident.Nothing was ever too much trouble.We had a wonderful day.Thanks to the weather we also managed to have the ceremony outside which had been set out beautifully.The string quartet played softly in the background which was lovely.The food was excellent as was the fireworks and the band and the disco.Loved the confetti showering over them during their first dance.So much to be thankful for i can'y remember it all.Joy , you was an absoloute joy and so helpful.😘Thanks also to Jim who loved telling me there was more food coming.😂.You certainly fed us well.Just from the bottom of my heart Thank you to you all for creating our daughter and son-in-law an amazing day.❤xx

Blotts have hosted my Wife's day for bereaved parents and siblings for some time now, and have been welcoming and helpful. The venue has outside and inside spaces, so allows small groups and a large general gathering in the same venue, there is even a stage and a bar. It is easy to get to yet feels peaceful and rural. If you fed up with the cool for cats scandi style, then this would be a welcome traditional relief.

10 of us recently enjoyed a fantastic evening of George Michael for my brother in law's birthday. We actually had a call earlier in the day to explain that compare Des Coleman had been taken seriously ill, and the GM tribute act had phoned in sick, and we were offered a full refund. We decided to go anyway due to the occasion and are so glad we did! The alternative tribute was brilliant, we danced all night, and the food was delicious. A great night had by all, thank you :)

We were there on 23rd Nov to see Rob Lamberti (George Michael)and Des Coleman. Although we were informed that Rob was ill and they had another George Michael tribute act who was rubbish, we were not informed until the other compare came on who was also rubbish. Our party of 6 were very disappointed as we attend Blotts regularly and have been going for a number of years. Blotts a real let down last night.

We booked to see Des Coleman and Rob Lamberti (top George Michael tribute act) on 23rd November. 6 of us paid £240, pre booked. On the day of the gig we were informed that Rob wasn't performing due to Ill health. Ok, can't be helped, get well soon Rob. Then when we got there we had a mediocre meal followed by an announcement that Des wasn't there either!?! So the 2 people we had booked to see weren't actually there!! The whole of our party feels so let down by blotts. There was no offer of refund or recompense for this, we had to confront the manager. I will be pursuing a refund but feel sorry for the other 300 or so people who were there who probably didn't speak out and feel as let down as we do. My advice would be to contact the manager and ask for a refund if you were there, it was terrible service, you didn't get what you paid for, we were all fobbed off with inferior acts!!

I went to a charity event last night to this place and it will be the last time I ever step foot in the place. The food was absolutely disgusting. The worst meal I have ever ever had. The place smelt fusty and damp. 2 bar staff on duty which caused mayhem as you had to wait a very long time to be served, the selection of drink available was minimal. Staff worked hard and were pleasant and they tried to do their best with very little help. All in all what could of been a good evening was sadly let down by the venue .

Table clothes where dirty! With dryed food and all sorts on them, ceremony chair covers was dirty with chocolate on them! Got kicked out before 12pm even tho our taxis hadn’t arrived! Literally showed us the door and lock it! I will be going to seek advice from my solicitor as it was unacceptable. Please book with caution.

The food was awful! I chose the veggie option. Claimed to be risotto. Tasteless slop. Served with boiled potatoes?? Overcooked dry veg. The sorbet was nice. My colleagues were wondering where the nearest chippie was, as portions were so small. £25 a head? Rip off. Sort the food.

Went to an event with a group of people and it was like stepping back in time. And not in a good way. The place looks run down and smells fusty. The garden is nice but ruined with cheap plastic garden furniture. The serving staff wore tabards - the sort that carers wear in care homes - what’s that all about? Accompanied by white gloves too? Hilarious! The food - one of the worst meals we’ve ever had; A prawn cocktail with TWO prawns Soup like dishwater One thin slice of colourless dried up beef A chicken breast as small as a ping pong ball We also had to send a chicken breast back as it was pink and undercooked. An uncooked sloppy like warm pastry veggie option Over boiled, tasteless and colourless veg And a generous dessert of....wait for it.....3 profiteroles! And these were just 3 plain ones stick on a plate, no chocolate on them! Overpriced unacceptable food for over £40 per head. We have been ripped off. It was like hospital food - cold, overcooked, umdercooked, tasteless and mushy. You need a new chef. You also need smarter staff uniforms, not hospital tabards and white gloves. Although it added to the entertainment for us! You also need to check your drinks prices - 2 gin and tonics - in small, thin glasses, one lump of ice and no lemon or anything - and wait for it......£18 for 2 of these! What a rip off for an out of town, run down, stuck in w time warp place. They’re charging city centre prices and I’d have expected at £9 a throw a nice glass, a couple of lumps of ice and at least a slice of lemon! Also, your stage has sharp nails stick out all along the edge of it. 3 of my friends ripped their hands open on these nails. I suggest you sort that out pronto. None of us will visit here again, just awful.

We went to the Christmas Dinner and Dance, Soul and Mowtown Night. The nine of us thought the entertainment was excellent and we danced the night away. The venue was very busy so to serve all those people with a Christmas Meal was impressive. There were 2 choices, one vegetarian. Although not my favourite I chose the beef and was pleasantly suprised. None of us could fault the food. We will definately be booking again next year if not before.

My sister got married here in February 2016. what a amazing experience, from the initial meeting with the team to the event itself. The team helped with everything- including all the extra things they provided us ( candy table hire, Table deco, Fridge assess for storage) . The deco is amazing and gives you a proper country style setting. The grounds are well kept and the lights around the building external and internal are always lit up which give the entrance and exit a warm feel. There is a bridal suite that the bride and groom can use to get ready or sit in - my sister got some beautiful pictures here. Such a professional, well structured management team. The brothers are so helpful and will really go that extra mile to cater your every needs. This family run business really takes pride in its work and make sure that everyone - visiting or arranging a function here are given a outstanding service.

Attended at Blotts for a 3 course meal and to watch a great group called "Blue Moon" sing Northern Soul. Soul and Mowtown that went down a treat and filled the dance floor throughout the bands appearance. (But I do love this type of music). The food was superb and well served by waitresses. Drinks were a bit expensive, But the bar provided jugs of Iced water free of charge. The food was well worth the £15 per head on the night. Food was well presented. Large portions and very tasty. I believe that the Beef may have been processed, But having said that, it was very tasty. The chicken did appear to be fresh...as was the potatoes. Would definitely go again to any other do advertised and would recommend this venue to any one wishing to have a function.

Organised our annual christmas party here. Seemed a good idea to have a meal, band and disco all under one roof. The meal was absolutely awful. Processed turkey roll, dreadful stuffing, lacklustre vegetables, followed by the smallest christmas pudding I have ever seen, alternative was 3 profiteroles. Then a series of party games commenced with table singing competitions etc etc. it reminded me of the 1970's holiday camp. Then a band appeared on stage, the music was to loud to be able to hear the vocals, the dance floor remained empty, all in all a terrible performance. Then the disco started. I have never been to a christmas party night when not 1 party tune was played. Not one of our staff left their seats to dance all night. For the money we were charged this place is a disgrace. Avoid at all costs

I was surprised not to find previous reviews for this venue as the website claims it is perfect for weddings and other functions. I had heard about Blotts for many years, but my first visit was a couple of weeks ago for a formal dinner, It was not at all a cheap night out and the quality of the food was shocking for what we paid: nasty, cheap packet soup, with a tasteless roll, a 'Christmas dinner' with very poor turkey and horrid stuffing [probably another cheap packet mix], and a tiny Christmas pudding with a swirl of thin custard. This may have been acceptable back in the 80s,but people now have higher expectations. The mark-up must be huge! I have no previous visit to compare this with, but I would be extremely disappointed to choose Blotts for a major function and be served similar food and would certainly not be prepared to recommend it based on my experience. On a positive note, although the décor is somewhat dated, the layout is good and the DJ and the excellent band ensured that we all had a good evening, in spite of the food.

We had a delivery from Village kitchen last night. Their driver drove his car across our garden causing significant damage. I’ve spoken to the owner who has said that he takes no responsibility. He’s told me that he doesn’t check that any of his drivers are licensed or insured and doesn’t even have an address for them. Think twice before risking having these people deliver to your home.

Laurence Henry is now Chef Patron of The Martin’s Arms located on School lane,Colston Basset. We have followed his career since he was at Sat Bains and won Master Chef the Professionals in 2018. It's been a year since he slipped off the radar. As soon an opening date was announced we booked. We were practically the first through the door for lunch. The menu is not quite your typical pub grub. It has the classics and something a bit different. We chose a couple of snacks. The Venison Scotch egg and we had to try the KFP. Kentucky fried pheasant with pine & thyme. A Poached pear Waldorf starter. Spiced port, Colston Basset Stilton, candied walnuts & endive. For mains, a true pub classic Cumberland Sausage, served with Mashed potato, seasonal greens & onion gravy. Nice tasty sausage with a lovely flavoursome gravy. Line caught cod. Creamy mash potato, Sweetcorn 'chowder` with clams, cockles & smoked mussels. A large peice of cod cooked to perfection. We wish Laurence and wife Sera every success and shall return with our doggies to see if they approve too.
