Loved the layout of the venue, plenty of space for sizable gatherings, as well as plenty of nooks to sit at chat. Loved that we were able to select our own music.

A real hidden gem - brilliant venue in a great location. Staff were so helpful and kind, communication was always very prompt. I recieved so many compliments from friends in attendance about how good the space was and would certainly recommend this venue to anybody wanting to celebrate a similar event. Thank you again for helping make my 30th such an amazing day!

Birthday Party · 110 guests · May 2026
I loved having my birthday at Ollie's. It was a great space for hosting a large group. The staff were great at accommodating the things we needed (plates and cutlery) and letting us put up some of our own decorations. I would host another event here 100%.
