50th Birthday Party · 25 guests · November 2025 · The Alcove
The privacy of a good-sized venue with its own dance area, private bar (stocked with champagne) and toilets. We added some disco lights and led candles and hired a DJ - it was our own private night club! Exactly what we were after.

Staff were very friendly and so helpful and the venue had plenty of space for my party of 60 people. We were able to use the TV for a fun quiz during the party which was great.

Birthday Party · 21 guests · October 2025 · The Alcove
I hosted my birthday party at Penny’s and while I didn’t end up using the lounge bar because the amount of my guest, they let me use part of their main bar area and the whole party was lovely! Tayla and Faith were so helpful in assisting me to plan my party and answering any questions I had, and Ella and the rest of the staff on the night of my party were very friendly and helpful with everything I had asked for. The food was great — their canapés selection was chefs kiss, all of my friends enjoyed them and I had an amazing time hosting my party in here. 😊 Once again, thank you so much!
None, everything was great from start to finish!
