Booked The Drawing Room at The Marquis Cornwallis
Very nice and airy space, when we had more people they sent up another bartender so we could continue to be served well. The food came on time in two batches as we asked, and tasted amazing. They accommodated all our requests very graciously.

Booked Basement at The Cutting Room
Had my 40th party there and it was a great night. Easy from the start to organise everything; very sweet, professional, warm staff. The canapés were excellent, so tasty they came out hot, which is a rarity at events! The venue is just so warm and inviting, from the decor to lighting, was spot on. Loads of compliments from my friends...rather chuffed I found this place. Will definitely be back for another party. Thanks to all the staff and chefs for making it such a great evening
