Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Farringdon
Thanks so much. The space was great for 60 people. Easily enough room. Food was quick and really good quality. They couldn't do enough for us in setting things up.
Beautiful location, really central and easy to get to. The venue was the perfect size for our party of 50 guests plus a photo booth in one corner. It was great to have a whole floor to ourselves with its own bar and amenities. The staff were amazing, food was incredible and it was a hassle-free evening, so we could enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend this venue.
