Fab spot, lovely helpful staff and some great drinks. Had a fantastic time! Amazing location and not that expensive for what we got would recommend.
Friendly staff, everything we needed and great airconditioning :) Also really good tea, coffee and of course the sweets.
Fantastic location with a very reasonable minimum spend. Huge upstairs space that looks bigger than the pictures, with great food and of course an amazing selection of drinks. Jai was fantastic to liaise with and very patient with our questions, and the staff on the day were generally great. Our event went down fantastically, thanks to the De Hems team.
Had an awesome time celebrating a birthday here! The barmen were super kind and welcoming, which really set the vibe for the night. The drinks were excellent and well made, and everything just felt easy and fun. Cozy atmosphere, good service, and a perfect spot for a celebration 🙌❤️
Amazing...simply amazing. The communication leading up to the event was outstanding. On the day, Jai and the team were so helpful and accommodating, friendly, polite and kind. I will never forget my birthday party and that is in large part because of the warm welcome we all received. Do not hesitate to book!!!
I had an absolutely fantastic 30th birthday party at Simmons! The staff were incredibly helpful and everything went smoothly.
The place was nice, with natural light everywhere and had all the materials we needed for our work Christmas day.
- The location is amazing. - The venue itself looks fantastic even with no windows (basement) and we had a lot of people coming to us to ask where we found it. - The venue already comes with sofas and chairs and can be arranged to your liking. There are also a lot of glasses, some utensils and plates. - The greeter (freelancer, not sure of her name but I think it was Anna) was superb, really saved our event when a crisis happened (see negatives).
