From the moment we submitted an enquiry right through to the event itself, the staff were beyond helpful with all the details, logistics, planning etc. to ensure that our event went so smoothly. Pete answered all questions super quickly and helpfully, and he and his team were amazing in the lead up with dropping bits off and handling everything on the day. The pizzas were so tasty that we had to order more on the day as our guests loved them so much! Such a great selection of drinks on offer and very reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend the venue and the staff, we had an excellent time and would definitely book this again for other events.
The toilet floors got a bit messy throughout the afternoon, especially the baby changing as the sink splashes water out a lot, but as soon as we mentioned to the staff they were very quick to help to clean the floors and kept an eye for the rest of the afternoon.

The staff is amazing great venue and atmosphere.
The toilets is open to the public which gets strangers through out party and caused some disturbances and even racial harassment to guests.
