Great staff on site who were attentive and helped ensure our evening went well. Venue was clean and nicely presented and we had the opportunity to decorate ourselves which allowed us to make the room our own. We were given the option to order food to the venue. We didn't end up using this but it's great that you're able to do so.
The bar is easy to find and lovely inside. The space upstairs was a great space for a party, we had 60 which was fine but could easily fit more. I worried about the minimum spend but we hit it easily! The staff were really helpful, food and drink all good.
This is a fantastic venue! The service was impeccable, and the food was fantastic. The team at The Wall made sure our event ran smoothly and that everyone had an excellent time. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Service was excellent from start to finish including booking and making arrangements as well as the team assisting on the day of the event.
We absolutely loved it!!! All staff were attentive and patient with each one of our bridal party. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the food was on point, satisfying and filling. Great!
The food was really nice and the service was good. Very warm and friendly staff.
