Bar staff were great (got involved with our quiz), drinks and food were lovely, and the space in general was very cosy, and had no issues accommodating 32 of us.

Some small tech issues when getting a laptop connected to the projector, but the staff were extremely helpful in getting this sorted out, and we were able to solve this!

It was a nice venue

We asked for the chairs to be removed, which they werent and the staff spoke litte/no english which made clearing these, and ordering drinks (which are extortionally priced) very hard. We made it fun, but i was disappointed.
