The Hideaway was clean, big enough for a decent sized party but intimate enough as well. The music was easy to control with two channels to swap between if you just want music from the pub. The staff were great and booking was super easy and helpful. I was asked prior to the event about food, signs, and other details and everything was really professional.
I kind of wish there was a sign in front of the stairs or something stating ‘private event’ or something, as we had strangers coming in frequently and had to politely ask them to leave. There was a sign on the wall, but it seems no one was reading it. Other than that no issues at all!
