We had our Wedding Reception at Bollocks Pub & Kitchen, Pickering Ontario. We have never wrote a review on line, but we just had to share our experience. First of all what a joy working with John Allen and his staff, not only was he very accommodating but made our day very personal. We took full advantage of using all the TV'S (as it is a sports bar). We had pictures playing throughout the evening with not only pictures of us as a couple but all our friends and family that were at the reception. We also hired a Videographer to video our Ceremony and played it during desert, as we only had immediate family at our Ceremony. It was a special touch that John worked closely with our crew. Our guests arrived at 5:30 for finger foods consisting of deep fried pickles, mini meatballs and jalapeno potato poppers. We had so many compliments on how good they tasted. We arrived at 6:00 for our first dance and funny speaches. And then we all sat down to our first course which was a lovely fresh garden salad, the dressing was not only delicious but not too heavy. Our main course was a prime rib dinner, with roasted potatoes and seasonal veggies and the most tasty gravy... did I mention the towering yorkshire pudding. We had so many compliments not only on how delicious it was, but the portion size was huge. Dessert was a lovely citrus sorbet, as we were serving our Wedding Cake later. We had the entire place to ourselves with our DJ. The staff was attentive to all our guests and every detail screamed "Wedding". John even surprised us with candles and decoration of our wedding colors. But really impressed us was the late night snack table. It was beautifully presented out on the bar, it consisted of incredibly fresh Italian meats, chesses, pickles, olives artichoke hearts and yummy crackers and bread. Our guests left full and very satisfied. John let us do a tasting prior to the Wedding. All in all it was a very cost effective way of having the most beautiful reception Thanks John and all your staff for making our Wedding spectacular. We highly recommend Bollocks for any occasion.
