Verified Reviews of Retirement Party Venues in London
Cameron was excellent on the night, ensuring everything from arrival drinks to catering to using the mics was on time. The food was really good as well.
Upon attending the venue for a retirement celebration, we were greeted the the evenings managers two and told we four bar staff as well. From the moment we arrived together we agreed a drinks system, food arrival times and prepaid beers. The team constantly made sure we were ok and updated us through out the night about Bar bill amounts as we requested to keep track. The advice to reduce bar queues was spot on prepaid beers worked, plus the corona was two for one jackpot!! Happy hour was til 7pm another cost reducer, and the team at Belushi's Dugout worked tirelessly. I had at less 202-250 people at the venue and I can honestly say it went perfectly. This is a 100 percent genuine feedback the whole team, especially the managers of the night were absolute hero's and absolute ambassadors for Belushi's. This venue is in the centre of London Bridge, and easy access so much so all guests kept saying was, how did you find such a great venue. I cannot believe what value for money this place is, absolutely unbelievable.
The venue was lovely, with sufficient seating and good sized space, reasonably priced for a central London venue. Bar staff on the day were delightful, friendly and helpful.
The venue was great and the staff were excellent. The food and ambience was really good, and everyone who attended the event has commented that they had a great night. Thank you!
The small brother of Willy's wine bar - Jamie's Adam's Court was my chosen venue and was fantastic. A lovely venue, great food and very accommodating and attentive staff. I had a fantastic retirement party with approx. 60 guests and very comfortable.
The Company are brilliant. From the initial planning to the execution on the day cannot be faulted. Very professional and the onboard team on the event day were exceptional.
We used the Council Room - beautiful setting for my retirement party. The staff were excellent and I have had so much positive feedback about the venue from my guests. Thank you to all who made it so special.
