JD
Booked Function Room (with Karaoke) at Simmons | Farringdon
The venue were so flexible! They allowed us to play our own music and bring our own food. Staff were so friendly and helped us set up and clear up. They let us stay right till the end and make the most of our night. Happy hour cocktails and teapots were great! The space was perfect for our numbers, with a mix of seating and standing. Would highly recommend for a private hire.
SA
Booked Garden room or Basement Bar at The Racketeer
Had a great experience celebrating my birthday here! The staff were super welcoming and friendly — they even greeted me with a glass of sparkling wine which was a lovely touch. The patio was a great spot to hang out, and the atmosphere overall was relaxed and fun. Would definitely go back and recommend it to others!
MK
Booked The Deco Lounge at Big Chill Kings Cross
I had a great time at Big Chill King’s Cross. Venue manager, Adelaide, was very responsive and on top of everything. The venue was able to accommodate for my special requests and dietary requirements. Most of the staff I interacted was very proactive though on the night some of them could have been a bit more proactive in helping out when we ran out of cutlery etc (though I understand it was a busy Saturday night). Big thanks to Adelaide for being such a great venue manager!
SA
Booked Main Bar Room at Ninth Ward London
I recently celebrated my birthday at Ninth Ward, and I couldn't have asked for a more memorable experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire evening.
The staff at ninth ward went above and beyond to ensure that our celebration was nothing short of perfect. They were not only accommodating but also genuinely invested in making sure every detail exceeded our expectations. It's rare to encounter such exceptional service, and it made our celebration feel even more special.
Overall, my experience at Ninth Ward exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy an unforgettable experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday celebration one to remember!

Booked Whole Venue at Ninth Ward London
The communication from beginning to the end of my birthday party was perfect. I had answers to my questions very quickly.
The location was perfect and the bar decoration is amazing.
My guests and me had a lot of fun during the party and the food and drinks were really good.
I will definitely go back again!

Booked Function Room (with Karaoke) at Simmons | Farringdon
First of all Tala was absolutely brilliant and cant emphasise that enough! She put the effort in to make sure myself and my sister had a blast and even organised little games for us. she also was a great speedy bartender alongside her colleagues which made it very easy for us to hit our minimum spend!

Booked The Loft at Big Chill Kings Cross
This was last minute due to a restaurant cancellation and I found this venue late at night. They responded to me in the morning and allowed me to use their venue for my friends surprise. This was such a great thing for them to do and I’m so grateful everything went to plan. Thank you so much again
