The room is lovely, location is great but what makes this place really stand out is the team. Every single person there is fantastic and extremely helpful.
James was super helpful, accommodating and helped make the event feel seamless. We would use the venue again happily :)
The venue was absolutely PERFECT for my friends hen do. The staff were so attentive from start to finish - excellent service throughout and really lovely food. There were 30 of us and it was perfect. So accommodating to every request and great value for money. Highly recommend this venue. We were able to set up in advance of everyone arriving, streamed our own music and enjoyed the sunshine on the rooftop. 10/10, thank you!!
Such a brilliant space for our book event. James couldn't have been more accommodating! Thanks so much.
James was so great; staff were so amazing and attentive. The venue was clean and looked so good with the decor and lighting. Was the prefect venue space. Was able to use external catering too!
Wonderful location, perfectly located with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend and book again!
The venue was perfect for our meeting. It was light & bright and we had lots of room to spread out for breakout groups. The space is incredible and provides an exciting and different location for teams to get creative and step outside of the office! It was perfect for a bit of fun afterwards with our own drinks and food in the evening which was allowed.
Excellent venue, great location, great facilities and the friendliest team at any venue we've ever hired!
