Our event itself went very well, and I would like to begin by recognising Ash, the bar manager, and her team. They were excellent throughout the evening. Had they been responsible for the overall booking process, we would gladly return for future family events.

(We had the PARTNERS room): Everyone had a great time, lovely food (good selection for vegans and vegetarians), a good selection of drinks. We were able to play our music quite loud & enjoy the little dance floor we’ve created. Pub is beautiful as well. Thank you so so much. (Great communication too).
