Great communication the whole way through and very accommodating for all our needs. Bar staff were great on the night and contributed to our event being a great success. Wonderful venue and wonderful team, highly recommend!
We had a company party here and it was really well organised, everything was prepped as we discussed. The food was good, the staff were nice and helpful - cannot complain. Had a great time, thank you all!
I had a seamless experience with this venue - from start to finish. The venue is in a great location, lovely private room and excellent service from the whole team. We had a large group so needed to pre-order, it was super easy and straightforward and the team (Dan) was very helpful with organising what we needed. I liked the added touch of name cards with what we ordered on - made things easier and was less distracting for our group. Thank you to all!
Fantastic venue which was perfect for our corporate charity evening. Big thanks to Millie for being a great support throughout the process
Amazing venue, location, staff, food and drinks. Couldn't fault them at all. Will definitely use this venue for our next Summer party.
Thank you so much for the help with organisation and on the night. My team had a great night - no complaints at all. Your help was much appreciated and I highly recommend this venue.
We loved everything about the venue. Our team is small and so we were very grateful for the support of the Monastery team to put our plans together for the event. Chloe was incredibly helpful and professional throughout our interactions, and with her help we pulled off a fantastic event that was enjoyed by all attendees. Guests complimented the venue, the staff and the food. We couldn't be happier with our experience and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to all - whether a wedding or a corporate event the Monastery is the perfect choice if you want a stress-free but showstopping event!
Great venue, great service, comfy seats. Communication with the venue was really easy. Will be back again!
