I've fished here a number of times, lovely setting. The owner is a top bloke too, very friendly and his advise always lends itself to a successful day's fishing. As the fishery is spread over four lakes, which you can freely roam around if fly fishing, even when it's relatively busy you have a lot of privacy and solitude.

Had our wedding reception at Halliford Mere and it was just perfect! The food was amazing from Franco and Bill and Lynn were amazing at getting the restaurant decorated just as I wanted. I could not be happier and cannot recommend enough! Thank you all so much! It was an absolute pleasure and we will be back for dinner for sure! X

Lovely venue for local summer gatherings. Anytime if the weather is ok. Cab be indoors. Have done one wedding and a funeral here. Now arranging our 50th wedding anniversary. Good fishing in the lakes and relaxed atmosphere with lots of room inside and out for events depending on the weather, up to 80 people or so indoors. We now hope it will be good for us. No venue charge, profit comes from food and drink so there is minimum number.

Tranquil setting aside the lake, you feel as though you could be in the middle of the countryside. Lovely food but unfortunately child portions.
