Woodborough Hall in Gedling

Visited here recently for a wedding, second time visiting in the past 12 months. First time was dire but this time was improved. Food was much better though vegetables were like rocks. Decor wad still a little shabby and the staff weren't dressed in uniforms, one in particular was wearing extremely revealing clothing with body parts almost dropping out.Overall, the second time visiting was much better but still not perfect. Seems to be a mixed bag!

Woodborough Hall has been closed for about two years now, we believe it is for sale. Previously we dined there many times, always enjoyed it and was always a very good wedding venue.

Visited here for a wedding reception. Very small venue but the grounds are nice.My grip was the bar charging over £2 for a glass of coke, they poured from a 2l bottle.

Went to my cousin’s wedding there last night. Service was shocking at the bar. All the staff were very young, inexperienced and had zero customer service skills. Not to mention the price. £10.40 for a double G&T, £5 for a can….yes a can, not draft of Guinness.The Food. Awful, tasteless, disappointing and overall sad. For what she paid per head it was absolutely terrible. Stater, pate and bread. Not homemade but out of a packet. Main. Under cooked chicken breast, under cooked carrots, lumpy mash, over cooked broccoli and weak gravy. That was exactly what we were served. A poorly made Sunday dinner. Desert. Fresh from the packet brownie, chocolate sauce and half a strawberry.Again, slow inexperienced service but at least they smiled and made an effort to do their job unlike the bar staff.The settings were lovely which is its saving grace but it won’t carry it forever.Rooms. Damp, draughty and musty.So if you want an over priced, under whelming and regrettable place to get married….This, is the place for you.

Had my daughter's wedding here which went amazingly the organizer did a superb task. The venue itself was really nice with alot of history but a few things let the place down. The air con didn't work when the temperature out side reached 34 degrees the lift was out of order so wheel chair uses had to struggle up the stairs, I had to show the bar staff how to pull a bitter shandy lol, there electronic payment methods wasn't working so had to walk 37 minutes to the nearest cashpoint and back. But the room was clean and the food was excellent especially the breakfast.

what a wonderful and beautiful atmospheric professional run venue.Just delivered the wedding cake the room was superb staff was very friendly and helpful. Brill

We got married at Woodborough Hall on 19th October 2019, and had the most fantastic experience.Firstly, the venue itself is stunning - we wanted somewhere with character, and a relaxed yet grand feel and Woodborough Hall offers this in buckets! We were really lucky with the weather and also got to make good use of the grounds which made for some beautiful pictures, including the traditional family portraits against the backdrop of the hall with the vines.We were able to decorate the whole venue exactly how we wanted, including using candles throughout which really helped add to the cosy autumnal feel. Yes, there are some areas that could be 'polished up' and given a little TLC, but overall we felt that the imperfections were what gave Woodborough Hall its charm.Throughout the planning process Jess was on hand and very patient in answering the (many!) questions and requests that we had. Given some of the previous reviews we were a little nervous initially, but we were reassured throughout. We made sure that we kept our own record of everything that was agreed, and made sure we answered all of the questions as fully as possible during our meetings (including highlighting what an how much of certain drinks we thought our guests would get through!)The day before, we were able to come in and set up everything as we wanted (we decided to dress the venue ourselves). I had made a mistake with the seating plan that I sent to the kitchen, but this was rectified immediately and without any problem.On the day, Betina, Jess and the team pulled out all the stops to make sure everything ran perfectly. We had suppliers turning up at various points throughout the day, which staff co-ordinated perfectly, and I had a list of requests (such as lighting all of the candles just before we arrived from the church, turning on lights hung in the orangery trees just before everyone came out from dinner etc.) which were all carried out without prompting.The food went down well, and whilst yes, it did take a little while for all 80 of us to be served (but that is a lot of plates of food to get out at once!) we had planned activities including Mr & Mrs between courses to keep everyone entertained! The portion sizes were generous, and combined with the canapes, sweet table and evening buffet no one went hungry!Service was polite and professional, and Betina was a wonderful master of ceremonies, ensuring everything ran on time! We didn't have to worry about looking at the time once.After a comfortable night's stay in the lovely bedrooms for ourselves and family, followed by a relaxed breakfast we went downstairs to find that staff had already started to collect together all of our decorations - a huge help that sped up the pack down considerably!Overall, we can't thank the team at Woodborough Hall enough for helping us to have such a wonderful Wedding day.Rachel & Chris

Worst meal I have ever had in my life

A lovely venue for our wedding reception with bags of character which made it a day to remember. Good quality food and helpful waitresses. Communication before the day was very patchy, with two missed meetings, ignored / forgotten email messages and a general lack of attention to detail, which caused us a lot of unnecessary stress right up to the wedding day. It was a massive relief that everything came together on the day.

Had our wedding reception here. Fantastic venue, good food, chaotic and unreliable communication. The waiting staff on duty pulled it all together on the day and we actually all had a brilliant time. Watch out for missed meetings and forgotten emails and allow plenty of time for clarification in the final week before. Nonethess I am glad we had our reception there.
