Such a beautiful venue with a great indoor and outdoor space. Has a lift which was excellent for accessibility and good open space around the bar. The food was extremely tasty and the staff were helpful.
We found an issue with the sound system that we weren’t informed about. We used Spotify and were able to connect to the speaker system which was great, however, there was not much volume and we could barely hear the music over everyone talking.
