30th Birthday Party · 80 guests

I had my birthday party here in the birdcage function room upstairs. It’s such a lovely room and a hidden gem! A lot of people didn’t know it was there! It’s got everything you need with a private bar, buffet menus, the team kindly organises a DJ for me and make the booking process super easy and stress free! 100% recommend!

Can’t think of anything! It was all fantastic and staff are lovely!
