Had my 50th birthday at this venue, absolutely amazing, from the very start dealing with Cara to the in-house team of Alex and Marco, incredible experience. Venue was perfect, food amazing and all the staff on the night could not do enough for us.
If you are looking to book a party this is definitely a must.

The venue is gorgeous, and so were the platters of food we ordered for my 50th Birthday last Saturday. It is also worth mentioning the staff were excellent and VERY attentive to our attendees on the night. Can't recommend enough 10/10 on everything!
Nothing to dislike only positive feedback.
