Booked Ground Floor at Mr Fogg's Botanical Tavern
The communication before the event was very thorough and the team was always on top of things which put us at ease.
Service was efficient without being intrusive, and they were very accommodating for all our requests.
The bartenders were also very friendly and all the guests had an incredible time.
They also kept us posted on how much more we have left on the bar tab so we could use up our tab in good time.
There was nothing we could fault!
AG
Booked Vienna Salon/Exclusive Hire at Fidelio
Lovely central venue, the food and drink was of a high standard but the staff really made it a great event from the start. Response times when planning were brilliant and on the night we could not have asked for more helpful and thoughtful service. Thanks to Ash and the team!
LM
Booked The Party Pad at Studio48 Bar & Kitchen

Booked Soda Room at The Botanist Broadgate Circle
The venue was great, the Staff were awesome, very attentive and accommodating, kept me informed all night as to how the bar tab was doing, I couldn't fault the team at all

Booked Private Room & Bar 1st Floor at Clerkenwell and Social
We were a group of 30.
After viewing so many venues,this place ticked all our boxes and was within our budget.
It was worth every single penny. I'm so surprised that it is pretty cheap compared to other pubs in that vicinity.
The food was delicious and every single person in our group enjoyed it.
Alcohol packages were a wowzer.
Amazing find tbh.
Gui and Philip at the venue were helpful.

Booked Christmas in Chelsea at Albert's at Beaufort House
The food was exceptionally good; guests were raving about the quality of the food and the cocktails were delicious. Everyone was served food and the circulation was good. Overall the party was a success and it went on without any issues. But that was because I had to constantly monitor what was going on and remind people rather than enjoy myself.
KC
Booked The Vault Bar at Walkers of Whitehall
A great location for our alumni drinks party. Staff were fantastic and food was delicious, although it did get stuck in one corner of the bar.
I felt it was quite full with around 100 people in there, and because of acoustics quite noisy, so I'd advise anyone else booking to cap numbers at 100.
We would definitely consider going back again!
TB
Booked Soda Room at The Botanist Broadgate Circle
Very professional staff, both in preparation and on the night. Food was top-quality, I recommend the Beef Wellington!
