Set in Wishaw, just a hair's breadth from the Sutton Coldfield border, most people familiar with the venue will have been introduced to it via a wedding.
It's testimony to Moxhull Hall that many guests will then either return as paying, dining customers, or perhaps as a happy couple themselves; in turn revisiting post-honeymoon and repeatedly into their future.

It may be exclusive, but it wants to include you. read more
