About The Cock O'Barton

Set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, The Cock O’Barton is a beautifully restored 17th-century Grade II listed coaching inn, where historic charm meets contemporary style. Proudly home to an award-winning Wedding Coordinator, we create unforgettable weddings with exceptional food, seamless planning and genuinely personal service. Whether intimate or exclusive use, every detail is taken care of so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Exchange your vows in our charming Private Dining Room, ideal for intimate ceremonies of up to 70 guests, or choose the light-filled Barton Suite, licensed for ceremonies of up to 120 guests.

Once you’ve said “I do”, celebrate with family and friends in our picturesque courtyard, enjoying reception drinks and canapés while overlooking the beautiful Cheshire countryside.

From there, continue your celebrations in our elegant garden marquee, seating up to 70 guests for your wedding breakfast, or choose the timeless surroundings of our Grade II listed coaching inn, accommodating up to 120 guests. Each space offers its own unique atmosphere, blending historic character with contemporary elegance.

As evening falls, the celebrations come to life beneath twinkling fairy lights with cocktails, music and dancing. Welcome up to 120 evening guests in the garden marquee or up to 250 guests when enjoying exclusive use of the main building.

Working alongside your award-winning Wedding Coordinator and our talented chefs, you’ll create a bespoke menu using the finest seasonal ingredients, carefully crafted to reflect your tastes and make your wedding breakfast truly unforgettable.

End your perfect day in one of our 14 boutique bedrooms. Individually designed and boasting beautiful views across the Cheshire countryside, they’re the perfect place to relax before waking up as newlyweds.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, a grand exclusive-use celebration or something completely unique, our experienced team will be with you every step of the way. From your first viewing to your final dance, we’ll ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned, seamlessly delivered and remembered for years to come.
