We celebrated our 30th birthday party here and it couldn’t have gone better. The function room was exactly what we needed clean, spacious, and set up perfectly. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout the whole evening, which made everything run smoothly. I’d happily recommend this place to others!
Great venue!! All guests said the venue was great. The layout at Portland Heights was just right. Good service and helpful staff on the night who met our needs. Extend thanks to the reception team also, not forgetting Jacob and Lester for all their help in making this possible. Would definitely hire again. Thank you
The communication was professional and felt very personalised to my event needs. The staff were very friendly and the venue was as shown and described. Had the best time and I’d use their services again. Thanks so much!
The screening room was a great place to hold a birthday party - the team were really helpful in the run up with questions about how we'd show the film and on the day they set up up really smoothly. The private bar and food orders all worked really well and everyone had a great time. Thank you!
What an amazing venue !! The staff are fabulous , cocktails delicious and the music was brilliant…. Highly recommended x x
