The communication was great, it was all easily organised, James was very helpful and friendly, as was the barman, the venue was a perfect size for us, out music was easily set up by the barman, the venue is ideally located for the city, and the price was good too.
They couldn't have done more for us on the night of our event (and before) very helpful and courteous. Everything was as promised. Food was fabulous and our little room upstairs perfect to have as a space for our own event - especially with it's own bar.
Venue was suitable for occasion. Drinks were a reasonable price. Air-conditioning was good. Staff were approachable and friendly.
It was fun and they understood that we were late and TRIED to accommodate that. They were also fast when ordering drinks and were all very polite even though it was really busy
Great venue for a party, amazing location and loved the outside space overlooking the harbour! Big shout out to Jade who organised a DJ/karaoke for us and was really responsive/helpful throughout and to Keegan who helped us on the day putting up the decorations!
