Verified Reviews of Minimum Spend Venues in Shoreditch
This was such a fab find - perfect size for 40 people (we did take some tables out / push others back to make some space). They were really flexible about what decorations we could put up, the food was good but the service was really great! Ali was a superstar barman (and even helped with the set up). We had a super fun night and would highly recommend.
