After spending a fabulous weekend in Ailsa Craig, Ontario for thanksgiving, my BF's father took us…read moreon an adventure to a cider house that was "close by". We drove for a few minutes in country time (20 minutes or so in the rest of the worlds time)... and we ended up at the most incredible cider house and orchard. Because we are fast approaching Halloween, the orchard was littered with pumpkins and halloween paraphernalia. Upon entering into the store, you are overwhelmed with fabulous candles, jams and kitschy country decorations. The second floor is what intrigued me.... Cider, Apple wine, (cysers) and delicious apple ice wine. The winemaker / cider maker here did a fabulous job of making a flavourful, dry fruit wine. And the price is great. If you can find the place, I recommend going there for a sunday drive. you will not be disappointed.

The space was big enough to sit comfortably-inside or out- and dance. I loved the vintage decor on the walls (moose antlers, old tools, etc) and the animals (cows, a horse that stood perfectly still between the sign-super weird- and the cats) were sweet. The venue had a fun, laid back, and warm feel. I definitely recommend this as a wedding venue.

I had my wedding and got married here on May 17, 2014. The venue/barn is absolutely beautiful and…read morethe grounds are well kept and are very nice for photos. We didn't have food catered in as we had a professional bbq'r there so having the kitchen on-site was great. We could not have asked for a better place. HOWEVER.....what we did encounter that we were not at all happy about We had to hire THEIR bartenders at $150/per bartender. We HAD to have two of them and they would work for eight hours. This we knew. What we DIDN'T know was that it was the owner (Cathy) and her mother! They were not dressed appropriately in my opinion for a wedding. They were dressed like they were in a country barn hoedown. Cathy stayed for the whole evening but her mom left at 9:30-10ish. So we paid for the whole night but didn't get the two bartenders for the whole night. They had a tip jar out on the counter which I was not at all happy about! They told us we had to legally close the bar during the dinner time because we had our own wine on the table (so another two hours of paid time) but when we checked with the liquor store when we got the license this is NOT the case...but, not a huge deal as we had wine on the tables. So during this "paid" time, Cathy was outside playing with her cat. They (Cathy and her mother) then demanded silverware and ate our dinner. We had a buffet so this was not a huge deal, it IS however the principle of it!! This was never discussed nor where they invited to the dinner. Approximately 9:30, George (Cathy's father) came in to the hall and sat by the entrance inside the main hall and was dressed in "Johnny Cash", hat and all outfit. He just sat and stared at people. When someone would walk by him, he would stop them, ask if they were enjoying themselves then say "I own the place". He was the first person over to the late night buffet when it was put out on the table and helped himself to it and the desserts. During the evening, Cathy SNAPPED at a few guests to keep the doors shut because the heat was on (we had actually turned it off because it was hot) Finally at the end of the night, everyone had left when Cathy told me she had shut the fridge off but to have NO worries as this fridge holds the cold. It does NOT. When we arrived Sunday morning the fridge was warm. The slab cakes that we had piled on top of each other had sunk into each other because the card board boxes had become wet and soggy. 5 cakes flattened! Creamer and milk packets were warm, ceasar salad dressing warm and two lasagnas warm. I had to throw all of it away....it was all ruined!!! We had rented the hall for 3 days but were then told on Friday when we were setting up that we didn't rent it for Sunday but they would ALLOW us to come in and clean up but had to be gone by 12. This was not a big deal as we didn't want to be there long anyhow..again, it was the principle. All I can say is the venue is amazing and it is wonderful...the people on the other hand..... once committed to a venue and the invites are sent out. There is nothing that can be said and done when inappropriate behavior is happening. Especially in this case....I honestly didn't trust them not to kick people out if we didn't go along. I would give the venue 5/5 as it is absolutely beautiful however; because of the owners I feel they severely reduce the rating.

We hired Don Baker to officiate our wedding. I feel bad posting a bad review because he was a nice…read moreguy, but thinking back to our wedding almost 2 months ago, the ceremony still upsets me. He seemed extremely nervous and flustered. Spoke quickly and it felt rushed. After walking down the aisle, he began the ceremony, said opening words and prayer and it was the longest time that everyone was still standing. I had to ask him to ask people to be seated, because he forgot that part and didn't notice. The ceremony was mostly a blur to me, but all of my friends comments about my wedding after the day were about how the officiant wasn't good. Several photographer friends of mine who shoot weddings every weekend here in London said they've never even seen him officiate before and were shocked that he came from Kettle Creek. We trusted that it would be good based on Kettle Creek's reputation but it just didn't go as we expected. My advice is to just make sure you feel 100% comfortable with your officiant before going ahead with the booking.

The prosciutto and pear pizza was delicious, and the bleu cheese wasn't too overpowering. The kids chicken and fries was a perfect size and tasty. The only reason I didn't give all 5 stars was their Appetizer menu - it was seriously lacking (bread and butter, ribs, & charcuterie - were the only options). It would have been nice to have been able to order some nice shareables for the table with drinks while taking in the view rather than having to order pizzas or large dinner portions.

This 8oz steak did not come with potatoes or vegetables and therefore when you're eating dinner at 8:45pm and paying that price you eat it no matter how bad it is. The waitress took our concerns to the kitchen who passed it off as an oddly salty piece of meat - there was prosciutto on my pizza and it wasn't any where close to as salty as the ribeye. At no point did the manager come to the table to express his concern. Unfortunately we will not recommend this restaurant to friends or family and will not come back.
