We booked the entire venue for our annual company summer social and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Pete and his team provided outstanding service from start to finish. The food was exceptional, the cocktails were expertly crafted, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. Our entire team had a fantastic time, and we received nothing but positive feedback from our employees. I would highly recommend sYp!!

The food and service was excellent. The catering staff walked amongst our guests with the trays of canapes and bowl food. The Penthouse is a lovely location to hold an evening event and we would definitely return there.
