Leaving Party · 60 guests · April 2026 · Beer Garden

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

Party · 50 guests · July 2025 · Beer Garden

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

30th Birthday Party · 30 guests · July 2024 · Party Room Upstairs

I really liked the service. The bartender and other staff were very friendly and cheerful which is great from a service standpoint (have worked in the bar scene before). Drinks were delicious, particularly the espresso martini’s and Long Island iced teas. Highly recommend as a venue for hire, both for upstairs and for the back area. Just waiting on my deposit to be returned.

End of the night an additional $500 was charged for no apparent reason (none was given). I refused to pay on the grounds that it was never discussed, and was not warranted, no damaged property or unpaid drinks. That being said, it is hospitality, I know the risks of being drunk.
