Good amount of space with seating and tables. Place was nice and good atmosphere. Darts was very fun. Very good communication when organising and confirming details. Would definitely recommend!
Helpfulness of the staff, ease of use for holding a business meeting with a presentation on the screen in the private room.
Fantastic customer service both in the run up and booking process and on the day. Staff couldn't do enough for us- including getting hot water to warm baby food!
My experience at BOX Brindley Place was excellent. The staff were extremely communicative over the tagvenue chat and were incredibly helpful in person. The venue was perfect for my 21st birthday and they catered to every need. Would 100% recommend.
Sandy was great to work with, quick responses, friendly and helpful. I will be in touch again for our next company outing in September. Thank you Sandy :)
The venue was lovely and perfect for out event, there was always staff around if needed and they explained how everything worked.
Lovely venue with very friendly and helpful staff. Quality cocktails served quickly and a nice vibe throughout. Catered for a range of age groups who all felt comfortable and safe.
