Large wedding venue Bristol

I am looking to get married in Bristol as that is where my h2b is from.
We have a church for the ceremony but no venue.
We will be having a large wedding due to big families so probably about 160 people and the cost of all the food kicks the price way up.
We are on quite a budget so would appreciate recommendations for cheap venues. Quite happy for venue only and I will organise tables, chairs, food, drink etc.

    There's a big function room literally at the train station (Temple Meads) on the right as you go down the ramp, great for access, parking, taxis, has some kitchen disagree, and I don't think it's licenced so you could BYO which works well for a budget.

    I'm a wedding photographer in Bristol and I know quite a few of the local venues.

    160 might be pushing it but I would suggest looking at...

    Kings Weston House
    Old Down Manor
    Coombe Lodge
    Tracey Park

    Those are the biggest venues I know of in the area unless you DIY it with a huge marquee in a field.
  • How about the council house it has a very big hall that I think is used for weddings
