The venue was great and in a good location. It had a cloakroom and DJ decks that could be used. Andrew and the team were really helpful and made sure I felt really special on my birthday. They were really personable with us and my guests also left with positive reviews of the team. They even gave me a free bottle of champagne for my birthday which was very kind. I would defo recommend.

Booked The Rooftop Terrace bar at Doggett's Coat and Badge
4.3
The terrace has a spectacular view. The pub has just been refurbished so it is a nice room, it is accessible with a lift and the windows open completely so with good weather it is really ideal. They presented the drinks (wine and beer) very nicely. The tables and chairs in the terrace are quite nice and comfortable to seat.

Had a bad accident abroad a few weeks before the booking. Steve has been so accommodating and allowed us to reschedule with no issues. Really looking forward to the event in July- if it’s as good as Steve’s customer service I’m sure we’ll all have a great time.
