Leaving Party · 60 guests · April 2026

it was great! drinks were flowing, having control of our own music was brilliant, and it was the perfect size for the amount of people we had

there was sometimes a really bad smell come through the garden either when someone flushed or coming from next door, it’s happened multiple times through the night and the downstairs toilets desperately need updating, new locks and just modernising

Venue was perfect we had around 40 people there and had dj decks set up. Everyone had such a good time Thank you!

Sound system was a little quiet besides that was perfect for number of people we had
