I had my 30th birthday party at Ollie’s with around 65 guests. The venue was great, the staff were friendly and helpful and I had an amazing night.

Perfect venue with several different interconnected spaces, WiFi, private bar - and really lovely, super helpful staff! They were VERY accommodating. Had an awesome party. Would recommend to everyone!
The catering / food itself was delicious, literally the ONLY criticism I have for this venue (which was amazing) is that I was lead to believe it would be plenty of food, for more guests than I had in the end - but the food disappeared so quickly. Maybe because it was delicious - but I’d rather over than under order to make sure people are fed, so just bear in mind that portions were either smaller than anticipated.. or my friends all just eat a lot

Very good price and feature balance - there is great soundproofing so we brought a sound system for DJs until close, excellent! All staff was super on the night helped us get a big issue with our sound sorted via their DJ/engineer - massive thanks to Matthew who helped us on the night and after to collect items. I liked that there were various rooms it helped create an interesting flow to the evening. I had a decor mishap as my delivery got stolen, but in all honesty it didn't need very much at all. Would most definitely recommend to everyone for the price I don't think you can beat it
Literally just that the candles at the door didn't turn on, but didn't say to anyone either!
