The Buttery & Glasshouse

The wedding venue at The Bull Hotel

The Buttery & Glasshouse is a spectacular wedding venue blending old and new, secretly tucked behind the historic 14th century coaching inn - The Bull Hotel.

It is a postcard perfect, one-stop destination venue in Kent offering couples and guests all they need for the wedding day. A hidden surprise you wouldn't expect and a venue like no other.

The Glasshouse

Spacious & Secluded

In the courtyard at the rear of The Bull Hotel you will find The Glasshouse, a 126m2 sleek glass structure purposely designed for wedding receptions, a bold addition to the traditional inn.

Expect to see a spectacular, retractable domed roof, south facing sliding glass doors to catch the sun - a space flooded with natural light. It is an elegant, modern wedding venue full of sleek glass and cool metallics.

The Buttery

Facing The Glasshouse, sits the historic and timeless Buttery.

Originally, the 16th century oak-beamed barn was used as a large pantry to stock food, butts of beer and wine for the hotel.

Built using traditional methods and materials such as bricks, mortar, wood and stones, the barn-style Buttery is in perfect harmony with The Glasshouse and the final result is an awe-inspiring wedding venue in a unique Kentish courtyard.

It is in The Buttery where memorable wedding ceremonies take place followed by the wedding breakfast in The Glasshouse.

Unique Kentish venue

The Buttery & Glasshouse at The Bull Hotel is open all year round, staffed by full-time, permanent professionals. Offering 11 boutique bedrooms, in-house catering, full stocked bar and a weather-proof venue. Weddings are welcome and look stunning in any season.

The Bull Hotel can host weddings for 2 to 150 guests, any day of the week, in both summer and winter.

This flexibility and dedication make it possible for us to tailor your wedding to fit within your budget.

Our focus is on you,

your dreams and

your budget

Whatever your budget is, we will build a bespoke wedding package that will wow your guests.

Your wedding becomes a reality just by finding the perfect combination of three main elements: the season you would like to get married, number of guests, and day of the week.

We will guide you in your journey to build your dream wedding.

"The Buttery and Glasshouse is stunning, and I honestly can't imagine us having got married anywhere else now! We didn't see another venue that was anything like as special as this - the spaces, surroundings, and design are all gorgeous and provide a really flexible setting for whatever kind of wedding you're envisaging. You can style it in so many ways, but it's also really beautiful even without tons of added decoration."

We cannot thank you, and the amazing team at the Bull, enough for helping make our dream wedding a reality. Iain and I felt so welcomed and we are so grateful to you for your organisation and for supporting Elaine with her flowers and decorations too. We thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ smokehouse food and felt that it integrated well in the running of the day. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
We especially loved coming down to breakfast the next morning to find that you had dressed the restaurant with our flowers and decorations. Christina and Iain
Me and my husband (still getting used to saying that) would like to say a huge thank you to you and the whole team at The Bull Hotel!!
We can't tell you how happy we were with everything and for all the help you gave from start to finish. Everyone made us feel so at ease and was so friendly and welcoming from the start, that was one of the reasons why we said yes to get married there, plus the venue was just perfect for us and exactly what we wanted.
Everyone had a blast! Thanks again! Mr and Mrs Tribe
We both want to say a huge thank you to you, Leigh Anne and all the staff at The Bull. We really had the best, most wonderful day, one that we'll never forget, and we know how much of that was down to all the support you and the team provided both before the day and on the day too. We felt we had so many questions, but you were always so helpful and helped to make our day even better than we imagined it to be, so thank you. We also loved the new decking area and Glasshouse, and so many of our guests said how brilliant the venue was too.
Thanks so much again - Sami and Mike

Beautiful venue, efficient staff, organised and professional coordinators, delicious food and nothing but praise for the care we received both before and during our wedding in March 23. We received so many compliments about the whole day which ran like clockwork and so stress free for us because the staff are amazing!

It’s been a whirlwind!!
A massive THANKYOU for being so so excellent and helpful. Thank you in particular for being so great with me when I had a wobble before the ceremony.

We absolutely loved our wedding day and everyone loved the venue and made comments about how much they loved it. Also, quite a few guests stated ‘the best chicken they’d ever eaten’!
Thanks again

Emma, we wanted to just say thank you so much for all your help in the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself. Having you there to help set things up and ensure everything ran smoothly was amazing. The day was perfect and just as we imagined. So many of our guests commented on how great your staff were, how good the service was and how seamless the whole day went - we couldn’t have done it without you. The little touches when we went up to our room were also great - the pizza was fantastic!
Thanks again!
Rebecca and Lawrence
The Bull is just an incredible venue for our special day. From the intimate Buttery for the ceremony, the decking for drinks and congrats from everyone. The Wedding Breakfast in the Glasshouse , we had The Smokery. To have everything in the one place made it all so easy, enjoyable and stressless. The staff , the rooms and the venue are first class. I would highly recommend this perfect venue to anyone thinking of choosing for their big day. Many family members said its the best venue and Wedding they had been to. Congratulations to all at The Bull as well as us on such a great day.
