Merryn and Chris’ Wedding at Ash Barton Estate

North Devon is known for its beautiful rolling hills, magnificent coastline and some of the very best country manors in the county. Ash Barton Estate, perched on the hills outside Braunton, is one of Devon’s stunning manor houses. Set within 25 acres of grounds which includes formal gardens, woodlands and lakes, today Ash Barton is a rather special wedding venue and it is easy to see why Merryn and Chris choose to celebrate their marriage here.

Ash Barton is a wedding venue the team at Devon Catering know well, we have catered for many weddings, parties and events here over the years and remains a firm favourite for us.

We first met with Merryn and Chris when they requested a copy of our Wedding Collection menus and together, we started to explore ideas for their day. Providing a choice for their family and friends was important and we together we selected a variety of options from Canapes to Starters and Wedding Breakfast to Desserts, all hand prepared using the very highest quality of locally sourced ingredients – mouth-watering wedding catering.
