Great location, friendly staff, efficient visitor signing in process and very clean and tidy amenities.
Staff were so amazing all night long. From when I first booked all the way through to saying goodbye on the night they were such a great laugh and so accommodating The space is fantastic for a party, I’d implore anyone to book their event here, the food, the DJ and the house music were all brilliant. I honestly couldn’t say enough good about the 1 bar. 6 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely christmassy vibes for this time of year, lots of tables with great food vendors that call you when your order is ready so you can continue to socialise with your friends in the meantime. Toilets were modern and clean.
