Verified Reviews of Small Private Dining Rooms in Manchester
A lovely time was had. The staff were so attentive and gracious! The set menu was delightful, offering very generous portions with good quality flavours. Incredibly accommodating for what we had intended and went above and beyond to make sure that we fulfilled our vision for the evening. Will definitely be returning!
Jacob and Lester were both extremely helpful for the entire process and made the booking/ actual event seamless. There were a range of options to choose from including meal options, venue dressings and extra additional amenities. On the day all the staff were extremely helpful and gave great service! Even sending Food for one of our bridesmaids to her room as she was trying to put our nephew to sleep. Made for an amazing day for all our guests and us the Brides!
Booked the private room 'The Wine Cellar' for 14, all the staff I liaisoned with were so helpful. When we got there the room was really nicely decorated with all the little bits and bobs I had asked for. Food was lovely and all orders were correct. We had such a lovely time and I really think it was a good value for money.
Great private room, really nicely decorated for Christmas and our pre-ordered drinks were waiting when we arrived. Stef and the team looked after us really well - always on hand to help us with connecting to the TV/audio for music, and regularly took drinks orders! The booking process, preorder, and communication was all excellent.
This venue completely exceeded my expectations, the staff were so helpful I was stressed organising my event but the staff there did everything possible to help out, they had amazing customer service and really added to the overall atmosphere, I would 100% book this venue again, the food was beautiful and the buffet was massive, we went back too it several times and there was still food left over, I cannot find a single fault with the place, thankyou so much
The voco team in Manchester were truly the best. They really went out of their way to make our big day special, they help and provide everything to the tiniest of details. Huge kudos to Jacob and Mitch and the rest of the team. Thank you so much, we will be back! Probably in winter! And our anniversary next year
Hired the wine cellar and private screening room for a birthday party and the venue was excellent. Helpful in the pre-party preparation, flexible with plans (we wanted to watch a short birthday film between courses and this was no problem for them), great attention to detail on the night. Lovely food, great wine selection, great atmosphere. Would highly recommend
