We hired the venue for my birthday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Megan was an amazing host from start to finish and did everything and more to accommodate us. The venue itself was fantastic, with a great atmosphere, and the cocktails were absolutely delicious. Everyone had the best night, and we’ve had so many compliments from our guests. I couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. Thank you, Megan, for helping make my birthday so special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bar staff were helpful, friendly and polite. The venue location was perfect for friends staying in city centre hotels, it’s also a great size with a great atmosphere. I was able to use their laptop for my Spotify and the staff were extra helpful with informing me of the bar tab through the night.
Absolutely incredible from start to finish. All Tagvenue staff were helpful throughout the process and the venue staff were excellent the whole evening- absolute credit to the business.
Foundry Project was absolutely amazing, we hired the back space for my 40th birthday and it was just brilliant. The staff were so attentive, friendly and the food was delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Pizzas were great. The staff was fantastic and very accommodating. We’d definitely come back again!
Staff were really helpful, chilled out, and especially the main people managing the booking were super helpful whilst arranging the event and arranging the room setup prior. Shoutout to Stephen and Lee!
