Very responsive team and very accommodating. Very nice team and helped us with everything we needed on the night. Great place for a party.
Mr. Foggs Pawnbrokers delivered a magnificent experience for our group of ~100. Having prepared drinks at the ready was the highlight, no waiting for drinks. It was simple planning from beginning to end and they offered great recommendations. Would highly recommend to anyone planning an event.
The staff were so lovely! Myself and my best friend had a wonderful time for our joint 26th. I would 100% recommend them. Shout out to Keith(or was it Kevin?) and Maria(I think that was their name) I will 100% book again :)
