We had a lovely time at Nell’s, the staff were willing to hold decorations for us earlier in the day and the option to add karaoke was fun!
Everything about it. Great little venue and great staff who were helpful with the TVs and speakers . The bar was great and felt very private.
We were so impressed with this venue for my 30th Birthday. The staff were so easy to communicate with in the planning, they were very responsive and nothing was too much trouble. We had such a great lunch and drinks, the staff were so helpful on the day, food came in good time and the space had everything we needed - our own bar, plenty of space and toilets. An absolute bargain for £100 minimum spend. Would not hesitate to recommend this space for an event!
Excellent location and a fantastic meeting room. It looked very elegant. Liked water machine as it gives different flavours. Coffee quality was very good.
Great venue in a great place with a very accessible deposit and minimum spend. Hired for my 40th. It performed very well :)
Great place to have a diner-party Great food and drinks Nice staff Nice location between the bridges and canals
This was our xmas party, it could've turned out to be a disaster with many dropping out due to the train strikes. But the venue was perfect, the young lad on the bar was brilliant all night. Very friendly and had a good chat with a few of our guests. When his shift finished and another lad took over he was equally a delight. Will definitely book again next year... this time with quite a few more of us I hope!
Sound and lighting man was so helpful and lovely. Jules who I communicated with about booking the space was so helpful and wonderful. Fab venue, fab staff
