Booked Neighbourhood Bar at The Neighbourhood Restaurant

We hired this venue to host our Charity Quiz Night for 70 guests on Thursday 9th July, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The planning process was seamless, a huge thank you to Jana Bartosova for her help with planning and logistics. The team on the night were professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout. The venue was set up perfectly, creating a fantastic atmosphere for our event. The staff were attentive, enthusiastic, and always on hand to ensure everything ran smoothly. A special mention goes to the chef, who prepared beautiful charcuterie boards for every table. The presentation was outstanding, and the quality and value for money exceeded our expectations. Our guests also loved the outdoor seating area, which was the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful weather and socialise during the evening. I couldn't recommend this venue highly enough for anyone looking to host a private event. The excellent service, attention to detail, and welcoming atmosphere made our Charity Quiz Night a real success. Thank you to the whole team for helping to make it such a memorable evening.

From our initial inquiry to the end of the evening, working with the team at Hot Toddy was an absolute pleasure. The entire experience was seamless. The venue was perfect for hosting a birthday celebration - stylish and comfortable, with delicious canapé options, welcome drinks, a private bar, a PA system, and exclusive access to the restaurant later in the night. Alice was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and the staff on the night were not only professional but genuinely warm and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we had a fantastic time.

Booked The Other Room at Dragonfly Cocktail Bar
5.0
I chose to have my 30th birthday party at Dragonfly in the private function room and it was incredible. The room is super cosy but was able to take all the guests and it gave it a great atmosphere. We also had a band who played on the little stage which Dragonfly was able to private the sound system for this. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much for them. I would 100 percent recommend this venue to anyone it was so reasonable priced and will be using again for sure.

Booked Bar Area at Porty Vault
5.0
This is such a lovely venue for a gathering- we were upstairs in the bar area, there were 18 adults, 9 babies and 5 buggies, which all just about fit! The staff were super friendly, offering table service for both drinks and food. The food was top notch- both burgers and chips were very tasty. The beer selection was great, mainly sours. Overall a great space for a relaxed get together in a friendly pub, with a great music playlist!
