WINING AND DINING AT THE RIDGEWAY BARNS
When it comes to event catering, we are happy to work with any professional, registered and insured caterer, giving you much more control over your budget. However, we regularly work with some fantastic local caterers who we are delighted to recommend. Further detail on our favourites below!
Peter and the team at Vaughan’s are passionate about what they do, and expertly weave your story in to the dishes they curate and serve.
With a background catering in some of the finest 5* London hotels, and committed to using local, seasonal and fairly traded ingredients wherever possible, their style of service is relaxed (but efficient!), enthusiastic and bubbly, just like good champagne.
Guide price for a fully bespoke 3-course menu is £75 per person. Please speak to Peter and Jurgita for a bespoke quote.

Recently recognised as one of the best wedding caterers in the South West, Michael and the team at Wild Fork deliver exquisite dining using quality, seasonal ingredients.
Six canapes, plus starter, main and dessert start at £90 per person (including crockery, cutlery and staff), but please speak to their event manager, Jasmine, for bespoke options too.

Do you want to take away the stress of catering for your corporate event? Whether you are hosting a boardroom meeting for 8 or a conference for 80, we are happy to provide a range of refreshments and light lunches, and have teamed up with Rich and Kat at The Food Gallery in Marlborough to develop our Buffet Lunch Brochure. Starting at £16.50 pp + VAT.
As a fully licenced venue, we have a great range of drinks options for your event. From a well stocked and reasonably priced bar, to drinks service options and couple’s choice cocktail hours.
Bar Menu
We serve a fantastic range of reasonably priced drinks from our bar, including our favourite local beer, gin and vodka from Ramsbury Brewery, and some delightful English wines from Whitehall Vineyard, both based right here in Wiltshire. Please see our bar menu for options and prices.
Drinks Options
From drinks service (‘corkage’) options to expertly designed drinks packages, and our very own couple’s choice cocktail options, please see our drinks options brochure for detail.
Do you allow external caterers? We are happy to work with any professional caterer who holds a food hygiene certificate and public liability insurance. If you have not worked with us before we strongly recommend you get in touch to discuss facilities and access prior to providing any quote.
What kitchen facilities do you have? For events held in the Threshing Barn, we have a commercial kitchen available for use by professional caterers. This includes power, water, a Turbofan oven, Parry hot cupboard, 2 x induction hobs and a large refrigerator.
What else does The Ridgeway Barns provide? We provide 6′ x 3′ rustic wooden trestle tables and up to 100 chairs as standard. We can provide round tables and tablecloths by prior arrangement. We provide a full bar service and will provide all glassware for the event.
What else should we provide? We ask that caterers provide service staff, all crockery and cutlery for the event and any service ware and cooking utensils that you may require.
