Introduction – The story so far
36 years ago we ‘The Watsons’, set up residence at West Town Pastures Farm, where a dairy herd was milked. Due to a decrease in demand for farms we decided to branch out into B&B and have never looked back since! The Farmhouse B&B became extremely popular, this was about 28years ago. In those days we used all our own milk, cream and butter from our prize winning Jersey herd.
Enquiries started coming in for us to do evening meals and the ‘Farmhouse’ restaurant was born. Firstly serving meals in our living room and dining room we started to use our family lounge so catering for approx 30. Word soon started to spread and the demand became so grate that we would have to move or expand. We gained a grant from the Tourist Board and 21 years ago the Jersey Farm Hotel (by now christened by our customers) was rated along with the famous carvery restaurant. Our aim then and now has always been to give value for money and serve traditional Farmhouse Fayre and plenty of it as you will soon witness. Our recipe for success still stands strong today!
In the years we have been here we have grown from a 4 bedrooms to 20 bedrooms all en-suite. From 30 covers to 200 covers a night in the restaurant and we now have ‘The Barn’, a high class function suite covering for 300 with its own unique sound and light show.
As you will have noticed if you have been before that we keep expanding and are constantly renovating and improving to keep our standards. We will always keep our friendly, personal and family touch throughout. You can of course bet we have further developments planned up our sleeve. A leisure suite and fitness suite and sauna etc for 2001/2002.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed by law to use our own Jersey Farm milk, cream and butter but we still keep the prize winning Jersey and highland cattle. We try to go to the shows with them but obviously time restricts
Around the fields you will see both Jersey and Highland cattle, sheep, horses, Shetland Ponies, pigs, deer and the latest addition to our family the Llamas! Please feel free to wonder the farm and “Talk to the animals”. Remember to close the gate and not to step in the field with the animals.
Mark, Kimberley, Jean and John hope you have an enjoyable meal and an interesting look around and hope you will visit us “down on the farm” again soon.
If anything about your visit is not satisfactory please tell a member of the management. We will try to rectify the problem and keep the standards we have achieved for so long. Please feel free to ask for a brochure or menu to keep as a souvenir or to pass on to your friends. If you have enjoyed your time here please do not hesitate to recommend Jersey Farm to others.
We would be delighted to see them!

CIVIL MARRIAGE
The trend now is not to get married in a church or registry office but at
the venue of your reception usually a hotel. The Jersey Farm therefore has
joined this trend and licensed a number of rooms to hold your ceremony in.
The obvious advantages to getting married in the same venue as well as cost is that it is a lot less stressful dealing with one organisation for the majority of the day. The setting is perfect at Jersey Farm and a number of rooms are on offer to hold the ceremony separate to the reception room or in the same room. There are options for pre wedding drinks and canopes just to make the day last a little longer and make it even more special and grand.
To hold your wedding ceremony at the Jersey Farm Hotel there
is a charge this includes the chairs arranged as you require, flower pedestals
to decorate the room, decorative table for the service, use of C.D. Music
system and of course personal attention of our staff to help with arrangements
on day.
Rates are as follows:
Room Number of guests allowed Tariff
The Lounge Suite 30 persons £120.00
The Meadow Restaurant 60 persons £130.00
The Garden Suite 60 persons £130.00

The Barn Main room 140persons £175.00

During your meal: You may like a glass of white or red wine
served to your guests. This can be from the carafe or from the bottle from
our extensive wine list. You may like bottles placed upon the tables for
guests to drink freely. We can tailor a drinks package to your budget or
your requirements, again this can be discussed with the wedding coordinator.
With the speeches you like to have Champagne or something in the style of
Chamapagne served instead of the house bubbly. If you do not like alcohol
we can tailor a non alcoholic drinks package for your day.
Our staff are trained in wines and can be very helpful when choosing drinks
anywhere in the hotel.
Canopes
An excellent way to start off a reception or arrival party
is to serve your guests canopes - bite size exquisite morsels created by
our chefs. These delicious tasters are served on platters and offered to
your guests for them to nibble along with their drinks.
2 canopes per person - £1.10 per person; 3 canopes per person - £1.50p
Evening Reception
After the formalities of the day you want to relax with
your friends and relatives to celebrate the occasion. The Barn can convert
from the formal setting into a relaxed party atmosphere. The Barn function
suite is spacious, yet sincerely room that has lots of features so as not
to look dauntingly big. To help your party swing we have our resident sound/lightshow
with DJ all included in the price of the wedding package. Your guests will
thoroughly enjoy the end to a perfect day and you will have a 'very merry
time'
You may invite up to 300 guests to your evening reception and we can also
cater for your guests with one of our finger buffet menus. (For the evening
reception we ask, for security reasons that all guests have an invitation
to bring with them and that they arrive in a well mannered state before
10.00 p.m.)

Go on take the plunge
Now you have made the wise decision to hold
your wedding celebration at The Jersey Farm Hotel
here are some handy tips on how to go about booking your special event
1. Firstly you must choose your date and telephone the Jersey Farm reception to see if there is a vacancy and reserve the date for yourselves, but don't leave it too late as the popular dates always go well in advance.
2. You must now confirm your booking within three weeks of the initial booking.
We will require a deposit of £300.00 as security along with all your
personal details i.e. Telephone number, address etc. (Please note deposits
are non refundable in any circumstance.) Payment for deposits is accepted
in cash or cheque.
3. We then ask that you make an appointment with us to discuss your personal
arrangements such as menu etc. This must be done at least 2 months prior
to the wedding or sooner. At this point we will require a further £500.00
(minimum) as further deposit for your wedding (non-refundable). The 2 deposits
will be deducted from your final bill.
4. We will then need your seating plan at least 10 days prior to the big
day. We will have issued you with a dummy plan to assign names to.
5. The 5 days before the wedding we need to know any alteration to the seating
plan and guest numbers. The number you give us 5 days prior will be the
number we cater for and what you will be charged for. Payment can be in
the form of cash or credit card.
6. 2 days before we will require your place cards which will be put on the tables for you and any favours etc. We will have the first draft of your table plan and menu which you can just confirm is all in order. You can also arrange for your cake to be delivered the day before if you wish and any presents etc.
7. The next day any presents and the cake can be collected and 10% discount is given to wedding parties wishing to take Sunday lunch in the carvery before they leave Jersey Farm.
After your meal (see menu on the adjacent page), You
and your party are invited to "The Barn Festive Disco". A range of music
