Verified Reviews of 40th Birthday Party Venues in South London
Booked Patch St Paul’s for a joint 40th birthday party. The team at patch were great, helped with the planning and prepared everything for us to just turn up and have a great night.
Communication with Steve at the venue was great from the beginning. The space was great and perfect for our party. Very nice pizzas, and lovely cocktails. Decent amount of bar staff so no one was having to wait to order drinks. DJ was excellent, and fab choice of music.
Great venue. Really nice room in an excellent location. The room is a really good size and the bar is well stocked and attended. Really enjoyed celebrating my birthday here.
The entire team were so friendly and helpful. The manger really looked after as did the team and made sure we had a perfect event.
Amazing location, great atmosphere, delicious food, great space - worked really well and had space for more, access to outdoor space is a real bonus
Such a beautiful venue wonderful place for an intimate gathering made the special celebration even more special. Thank you Nave team.
