Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Lambeth Borough
We used The Workshop for our engagement part for 60 people. Communications ahead of the event were very efficient and the staff on the night were really helpful & friendly. The space was really nice and we were able to visit beforehand and also come 30 minutes before to decorate, we played music via the speaker and connected a Switch games console to the projector. Our guests were buying a drinks from both bars but the staff were very considerate in making sure it was all added to our minimum spend.
