  “We held our wedding Reception at Sugarbeat Eating House and genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team. From the moment we booked to the moment we packed up the following day, the communication was smooth, friendly, and completely stress‑free. Stevie (the owner) was always available, calm, and ready to help with anything we needed. I loved his personal touch of greeting us when we arrived with a glass of bubbly each. We really appreciated his honesty throughout the whole process. He also oversaw the delivery of our furniture hire and bouncy castle hire so we didn't need to be there. Side note - the Sugarbeat does supply tables and benches but as I had elderly relatives attending I decided chairs were more appropriate. The food was absolutely delicious (that's an understatement!) Everyone remarked how great it was especially the pizza and halloumi skewers. We had welcome drinks (via a ticket system), a BBQ, toast drinks, and a pizza buffet, and every part of it was spot‑on. Our guests were full of compliments all day. The sausage rolls, however, divided opinions because some were loving them and saying it was the best sausage roll and some hated them. Unfortunately, we were too late to get a look in with the sausage rolls so personally we can't comment (so obviously more people found them delicious than not 😆). The service was top tier. Phoebe went above and beyond for us, constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. She didn’t just place our wedding cake and desserts on a table, she organised staff to help serve them to everyone which made everything feel thoughtful and cared for. We weren't expecting that as it was already communicated that staff may be too busy in the restaurant. The stretch tent was perfect for our day. Spacious, airy, and beautifully lit with dimmable lights that made the evening feel magical. We decorated it ourselves, and the space worked so well for a laid‑back, relaxed atmosphere. Sugarbeat Eating House were amazing throughout. They were friendly, calm, organised, and genuinely invested in making our day special. We would recommend them for absolutely everything: weddings, events, meals, parties. Their whole setup is brilliant, and I already know where I'll be recommending for future events… maybe my husband's 40th birthday next year. 😉 Five stars without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “We had a 1 night stay here as we had a wedding at a big venue about 5 minutes up the road. My partner was a groomsman and had to be at the venue for early morning, with check in time being around 2 this meant I wouldn’t have anywhere to go whilst I wait for him and get ready. We let SugarBeat know about a week in advance and they said they would try and make a space for me to get ready etc. We called again on the day and they were aware and kindly reassured us they would help (even though they were fully booked with a wedding party from the night before). I really can’t fault how accommodating, lovely, and approachable all the staff here were. They ended up cleaning the room promptly and allowing me into my room early which was just so kind and helpful. You don’t get service like this often nowadays and it was so nice staying here and experiencing this. The room was lovely, spacious with air con, and the breakfast really good (with consistent friendly and professional service). Thank you so much for making a bit of a pickle of a day run smoothly. It did not go un noticed. X”

  “We hosted a 40th birthday party at the venue and it was a perfect location. The management team enabled the whole experience from start to finish to be nothing but enjoyable. Planning and organising was easy with clear communication and advice on options (food and drink packages). The venue was perfect with the band playing in the marquee and guests being able use the outside bar area. The staff were fantastic during the party also. Great service with a friendly approach. We stayed the night of the party and had three of the four rooms. All were clean, comfortable and spacious. All round brilliant evening at a brilliant location.”

  “Stayed here for a party at Dunston Hall and was certainly the better choice. We had a lovely room, plenty of parking, far more reasonable price. Breakfast was fantastic, unfortunately we didn't get to have another meal here but what we saw looked great. Service was faultless, staff was so friendly and quick to help and advise on anything. Stayed by chance but would without doubt go back. Was a little worried about road noise when we arrived but never bothered us and had a good night's sleep. Thank you to all, especially the young lady who came to my fiance rescue when her button came off just before heading to the party, life saver 😊👍”

  “We recently held our company summer party at SugarBeat Eating House, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward, and the team were incredibly helpful, accommodating, and responsive throughout the planning stages. On the day, everything was exceptionally well organised, allowing us to relax and enjoy the event. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for a company celebration. Every member of staff made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The feedback from our employees has been fantastic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, and we've received so many positive comments about the venue, the quality of the food, and the professionalism of the team. A huge thank you to everyone at SugarBeat Eating House for helping make our summer party such a memorable occasion. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the venue to anyone looking to host a private event, and we're already looking forward to returning for our summer party next year! Thank you again for a wonderful experience.”

  “We had the most amazing wedding day at the sugarbeat. It is honestly such a hidden gem of a venue and one that I think will be so popular soon so if you are planning your day I suggest getting in touch asap! Very budget friendly compared to others. Booking- Stevie the owner was friendly and helpful right from enquiry. We were able to personalise our day exactly how we wanted. Venue- we had the marquee and all the outdoor space including the pagoda and patio area. This was closed to the public so our guests could use the gardens. We were also allowed to use the neighbouring vineyard for our photos. Stevie and the team also had some outdoor games that we were able to use which again made our day. Ceremony- for the ceremony we chose to get married outside. We could have also got married in the marquee. Either would have been fantastic and it is so lovely couples can choose. The noise of the road was not an issue during our ceremony or during the day at all, please do not worry if this is a concern for you, we didn’t notice it at all and got married on a Saturday lunchtime! Food- amazing. We chose to have a bbq for our guests and this was amazing. We had Chinese pork belly, best burger, halloumi skewer and sides. This went down so well with our guests. All food was really high quality and most importantly all 80 people’s meals were served hot and quickly. Vendors- Stevie let us have some external vendors to personalise our day. We had a Photo Booth, ice cream van, live band, violinist, line dancing. Stevie and the team made sure this was all stress free for us by having space for them and helping them know where to go. Decor- we were able to decorate exactly how we wanted. We were able to out tables, hanging lights, arches etc wherever we wanted with no issues. Honestly this made it so special and personal. Rooms- we booked the 4 rooms (2 twin and 2 double) for us and our guests. All were clean, spacious and quiet considering how close to the road it is. Great breakfast came including, this was even brought up to me on the wedding morning whilst getting ready. Amazing again. Overall- a perfect day and we can not thank the sugarbeat enough!”

  “Had our wedding here at the beginning of July. We had the first meeting with Stevie in January of this year and immediately knew this was the place. Stevie has been amazing throughout the whole planning process and absolutely wonderful during the event. He volunteered to give lifts to some of our elderly guests whose taxis did not show up. He gave me a quick pep talk when I felt overwhelmed the day before. The entire team that was working that weekend, from the room cleaner to the barkeepers, servers, and chefs did an absolutely amazing job. There was a very relaxed and fun atmosphere between the employees and many of our guests commented about how kind, helpful, and efficient everyone was. The venue itself was great too, lots of space for everyone to spread out as it was a hot day. Children had loads of space to run around and play games, there was plenty of seating and room to dance. When the evening started winding down, the SugarBeat team started packing all our things up in boxes making the tidy up incredibly easy too. All in all, we had a wonderful wedding day and would highly recommend anyone who is looking for good food, a great atmosphere, and a relaxing celebration to check out the SugarBeat Eating House.”

  “Good experience with warm welcome from Elle on arrival. Staff great, room well thought out which is not always the way! Kettle went under tap to fill, hangers, mirror height in bathroom, air con great as was very hot plus comfortable bed. Fresh milk in fridge, small things that make such a big difference in my opinion. Will be back when in area.”

  “We cannot recommend the Sugarbeat enough for events! We hired the tent area and garden for our post wedding day debrief event. Communication with Stevie was fantastic from the start, any question wasn't too big and we had several meetings at the venue to run through the key parts of the day to ensure everything ran smoothly. On set up day the staff were very accommodating and happy to help where needed. The tent and garden area were very well maintained and we were allowed to add our own decorations which was great to add our personal touch. We had a fantastic event at the Sugarbeat and it was a great way to end our wedding celebrations. We opted for pizzas as our food choice and they were very tasty and served over a 2 hour period to ensure guests arriving later were also fed. Overall a superb event that made our wedding celebrations very memorable!”
