Do the ASDA still have that idiot who acts as a greeter of sorts? You know, the old boy? It's just that I did'nt see him last time I was in there.....I saw Willow and Busman, though, and some characters up and down with a TV camera....maybe they'd come to film a wedding reception...."That's right, Sir..we've two on today...first one is by the Pizza stall and the second one, half an hour later, is down by the womens personal hygiene aisle....."

Fantastic idea Tealeaf. Instead of forking out for wedding favours, all my guests can go home with a black eye.

In the Whitakers is it a function room as such or just an area?

Sparkologist · 10-01-2005, 18:17

It is a function room which is off the side of the pub. i reckon it could easily seat 50 for a reception.

I'll certainly vouch for Whittakers. Paul and Sarah who run it are friends of mine. They took it over a couple of years back and turned the food bit around. The carvery is excellent and the atmosphere friendly. The other pub up from the Whittakers is the Griffin. There's a new landlord/lady there at the moment and I haven't been in since the change. It is smaller than Whittakers but my sister had her wedding do there a few years back, and they did a nice buffet. It was only a small family do though.

yes lettie i have to agree with you there it would be a nice place for you, night venue now there are various places, such as sydneyst, cannine, brookes clubs all have rooms for celebrations such as yours

ops lettie i really dont mean you at all !

I seem to recall a few years ago someone had their wedding do in the cafe in ASDA. They must have been pretty desperate.[/QUOTE]
I remember this wedding it was early morning about 9am as the pubs didn't open till 11am they all went to Asda for a 99p breakfast, this story made the news of the world.

We're having a buffet at The Observatory near Queens Park. It looks very nice and meals we've had there have been good so we hope it lives up to our expectations.

Hi

Have you considered a cricket club for your evening do?Church,Bacup and Haslingden all have nice big function rooms and would be very economical.

Thank you for everyones suggestions. It really did help as I don't know Accy and its venues very well.

Sara · 13-01-2005, 20:17

Whatever you decide on, I hope you have a wonderful day.
