Good communication and helpful staff at the venue and a nice private space. Convenient location, and good value for money.

The food quantity was only just enough. Beware if booking for a family event, the licence means no under18s after 8pm

Perfect venue for our Christmas party, everyone really enjoyed it and the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the entire night!

Outstanding value for money for such a great venue in the Jewellery Quarter. Staff were super helpful, especially the tech guy (shout out to Dan!). Would be more than happy to book again, and would recommend to other event organisers.

Bit of a walk from New Street train station, but close to Snow Hill. There was no disability access to the top room venue. This was fine for our event but I imagine could be an issue for others.

The venue was the perfect size and set up. The staff were so helpful. The DJ read the room perfectly and made the night. Food was excellent. I cannot praise the team enough!
