30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · March 2026

This was the absolute best venue for my fiances 30th. Firstly, the staff, all wonderful, all truly hard working and easy to talk to. Communication was amazing and everything was clear for our event. The place was beautiful, cool and perfect place to host 40 people, so much space!! The bar being available solely to us all night was amazing, and all our guests had the best time. We could decorate however we wanted and the playlist was played with ease. Welcome drinks were done so lovely- espresso martinis for a “30 is brewing” theme! The drinks through the night were incredible and honestly it was a night everyone needed. All the food was delicious, however only allowed to be out for 2 hours! I wish we had alittle heads up maybe like 30-20 mins prior to it being taken away so the guests could have ate it abit more, as there were still lots of food left! But the staff explained it’s a food hygiene reason which is super understandable, but maybe for future events giving the host a 30 minute reminder ! But honestly didn’t affect the most incredible night!

30th Birthday Party · 90 guests · October 2025

We hired The Little Picardy for my brothers 30th birthday and it was the best party ever! The staff were so helpful from the very beginning. They communicated very well and nothing was an issue. On the night of the party the bar staff were very fast and let us play our own music as loud as we liked! We also decorated the bar with our own decorations. Everyone had a great time and i would definitely consider booking it again for the next big party!

Nothing!

Office Party · 50 guests · August 2026

We've had two events here now and both have been fantastic. The venue is lovely, new and comfortable. The toilets are clean and pleasant. The music is a reasonable volume and the seating is comfortable. The staff are always friendly and helpful and easy to organise bookings with.

Nothing comes to mind!
