Wedding services provided: Beeses is the perfect place for a relaxed, informal wedding reception, and an ideal alternative if you are looking for something other than a hotel function room or community hall. And the emphasis is on informal - for example, we don't do silver service or serve meals to the tables, as all our menu options are served buffet-style. What we do offer is a beautiful riverside location, high quality food and ales at reasonable prices, and excellent customer service.
Gardens or outside locations suitable for wedding photography: Yes
Local picturesque areas suitable for wedding photography: Situated beside a deeply running river Avon below a steeply wooded bank, Beeses is a haven of tranquillity, with the Eastwood Farm Local Nature Reserve adjacent to Beeses.
Venue special features: A very popular option is to arrive by boat from Bristol city centre - cruising up the Avon with a glass of bubbly is the perfect way to arrive! You can find contact details for each of the ferry companies we deal with on our links page. Between them they have a range of boats with capacities of 15 - 90 passengers, and they are all happy to listen to your requirements and quote accordingly.
Venue History: Beeses Tea Gardens was founded in 1846 by Mrs Beese, who provided refreshments to the many travellers using the Conham Ferry, the captain of which was Mr Beese. The railway navvies then working on Brunel's newly opened Great Western Railway (you can still hear, and just spot, the trains rushing by today) were no doubt also very grateful for a thirst-quenching cuppa.
The Conham Ferry runs from Beeses to the Hanham side of the river, and is the oldest river ferry crossing on the River Avon. We are delighted to carry on the tradition by operating the ferry during our opening hours.
Other information: At Beeses we have a strong commitment to using quality products which, as far as possible, are sourced from local and West Country suppliers: our cakes and jam are supplied by local, independent makers; and our meat is locally sourced and supplied by Taste (based in Barrow Gurney), who insist on excellent husbandry. We have quickly acquired an excellent reputation for our menu. Furthermore, we endeavour to use fair trade, naturally reared and/or organic ingredients.
