Booked Main bar area at Copper Cats

4.9

Copper Cats was fantastic from start to finish. The team were incredibly accommodating, patient, and reassuring, especially with the many questions I had along the way, which really put me at ease during the planning process. The venue itself is beautifully versatile and can be adapted to suit different styles and occasions, which made it perfect for our event. Everything ran smoothly on the day, and the atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for. The food was a real highlight, absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all of our guests. We received so many compliments about the quality and variety, which made it even more special. I would highly recommend Copper Cats to anyone planning an event. Their service, attention to detail, and overall experience were exceptional.

Booked Exclusive Hire at The 1 Bar

4.9

Wow, everything from start to finish was just incredible. The venue is absolutely perfect (we had our engagement party here with about 70 guests) and the vibe was immaculate. All of the staff were brilliant, from Alicia the events manager, to the bar manager, to the security and bar staff! All were so lovely and such a fun lot to be around. Also highly recommend the DJ that the bar recommended!

Booked The Basement at Well Street Pizza

5.0

I had an incredible 27th Birthday at Well Street Pizza. The Venue was beautiful and different to other venues. My friends were complimenting how 'cool' and 'edgy' the venue was, especially, the bar area as seen on the pictures. A mix of table and chairs (which some can be removed - if requested), therefore, your guests have a choice to either dance or seat down to socialise. The bartenders were amazing and very hospitable, Chrissie and Kate, who took every request I asked for, such as bringing my cake in exactly at 11.30pm. My guest also complimented how fast the service was, with the number of people I had in the party. You can also order food too with cocktails. The drinks were really good value for London prices too, so a lot of my guest end up ordering a lot of drinks/food the night. The decorations - you can bring your own. However, if you want to tape decorations around the venue, it is advice to use blueback only. They do also clean up everything, after the party! My main contact and organiser was Lucy, and she's been amazing to extend the time for my party too, without extra charge. Lucy's responses are very fast and answers all my enquiries in details. The whole process has been amazing for me! I would hire or recommend it to everyone!
