5.0
Great communication from Alice, answered any questions and let me come for a second viewing. Really easy to set up and we brought our own decks. The venue was lovely, just what we needed, with a good soundsystem. Helpful bar staff and were happy for us to come back the next day and collect our things so didn't have to worry on the night. I had 50 guests and it felt like a really good size still. Would definitely hire again, great value for money.

Just so people are aware - This venue closed-down overnight 1 week before our party and didn't make any effort to contact us, let alone return our deposit. I appreciate the venue must have been going through difficult times, but the experience remains very disappointing and unprofessional.

The staff at Simmons bar helped to make my 30th birthday party really special - particularly Erin - who went above and beyond by providing extras not asked for like party poppers and sparkling candles. All the staff were very helpful and friendly - no request was too much. The whole event ran really smoothly, thanks to their help.
