Friendly staff and large food portions. The room was snug for 30 people in a way that meant everyone easily mingled and there was no awkward space.

The venue had two other large functions at the same time, so were sadly understaffed. The wait staff and bar staff were absolutely lovely, and it isn’t their fault, but we only received our mains at 8.30-9ish, on a 6.30pm booking.
