Reception Ideas wanted - West Yorkshire

Hi All and Happy New Year :beer:
I'm looking for some inspiration for reception venues in West Yorkshire, or maybe even somewhere we could use for a civil ceremony and a reception. We have a limited budget - probably around 3k, and would prefer to spend less than this if possible.
We're looking for somewhere like a small pub that will let us do our own catering, or a village hall or something like that. There will probably be 50 people max to attend the reception, and I don't want to spend more than £10/£12 a head for catering.
All the places on Confetti and such like are fancy hotels, and we're looking for something a little more budget really.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Yorkshire,
Barden Tower is a great budget venue, there is a bunk barn and restaurant, lots of ruins to get great pictures (I can also recommend a fantastic wedding photographer..my hubby)
And there is a huge converted barn with a stage for an evening ceildh or party.
The first wedding that my hubby photographed was there, they rented it all for the whole day and it was only about £400 for the lot!
https://www.impho.org is my hubby's photography website, there are some pics taken at Barden Tower (lady in burgundy top and cream satin skirt)
https://www.yorkshire-dales.com/barden-tower.html is the place's website
Hope this helps!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
We are getting married here - http://www.bridgeinn-bridgehotel.co.uk/
It's costing us £2500 all in all for Civil Ceremony, drinks reception & sit down three course meal for 30 and an evening reception with BBQ & DJ for 100.
