It’s recommended to book a BBQ venue in Manchester at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially for larger venues like CitySuites in the city centre, as popular spots fill up quickly, particularly during peak summer months. Additionally, major events like the Manchester International Festival in July, Manchester Pride in August, and the Manchester Food and Drink Festival in September can impact venue availability, so planning even further ahead around these times is advisable to ensure you secure your preferred location.
It was perfect! The staff were wonderful. So warm, felt like they were part of the celebration. The food was lovely. We were very happy with this choice.
Great place for a birthday party, the bar was a good size for around 50-70 people. I brought in a DJ and the sound system was good, had no problem setting up. The bar staff were nice. Alice who helped organise was very helpful and responsive. We ordered food on the evening with no issues and it was very tasty. Overall a really good night!
Everything about this was brilliant.. Communication with venue, bar staff, manager, was perfect for our event
The venue is really nice, very warm and excellent for a small party. The staff was friendly, and we were well informed about all that would be inclusive.
A great room in a busy pub on a Saturday night. Everyone had a great time and the staff were lovely on the night.
The venue was set up really nicely and exactly how I had asked for, we had the whole place to ourselves and they even let us extend our booking for an hour. Teegan's communication was great and her and the team were so helpful. Everyone had a brilliant time and the BBQ food went down really well.
Brilliant venue! Fabulous area for a party, with private bar, toilets and pool table too. We had a great time. Would definitely consider booking again in the future! Emma was great at answering all my questions before the day, and everything ran smoothly
- Everything about the experience was incredibly smooth, from the booking to the payment to the day itself - Staff we’re all super accommodating, friendly and answered any questions I had. - They helped me sort out the food situation as they weren’t doing food that night because of kitchen problems I believe, but I spoke to the manager and she let me and my friends order food to the venue instead as food was originally promised, the night couldn’t have gone any better I was super happy with the service and will definitely be booking here again! :)
