We were a group of 30. After viewing so many venues,this place ticked all our boxes and was within our budget. It was worth every single penny. I'm so surprised that it is pretty cheap compared to other pubs in that vicinity. The food was delicious and every single person in our group enjoyed it. Alcohol packages were a wowzer. Amazing find tbh. Gui and Philip at the venue were helpful.

Our entire package was prepaid in advance. I agreed on giving coupons with money value to be fair with the group. This was agreed with the event manager but unfortunately none of the information was conveyed to the actual venue manager. Luckily I managed to drop by a day before our event and found out that the above plan with coupons cannot be done. Anyway we managed to agree on something else and the event went smoothly the next day.I can't imagine if I found about this few hours before the event, it would have a complete flop show cos I would have already distributed the coupons to the group. A better communication between the two managers could have avoided this. Otherwise, no other complaints.

We hired the upstairs for a 40th and everything went perfectly well. Kendal managed the sales process expertly, and the bar manager on the night ensured we had everything we needed and made it easy for us to just enjoy the party.

The only slight gripe was with the sound system, the speakers have pretty much gone and need replacing.

Food was fantastic and although seemed pricey there was a good amount for the money. Staff service was great especially Norbert, there are also flavoured shots which are unique and good value. Upstairs is a good space for a party and the event was great. We were allowed to decorate, play games and set up a photobooth which all added to the atmosphere. Had it not been for the music I would 100% have recommended this place to anyone.

Although I asked for a late licence till 2am which required additional minimum spend the music was turned down at 11pm. Despite having a DJ there was a noticeable drop and when we asked for the music to be reinstated they were quite rude and unwilling to listen. Consequently dancing was impossible as you couldn't hear it above the talking. I was warned the music system was not "club" level but pre 11pm you could easily hear it and some people were dancing. If you want people to dance late into the night this is not the venue for you.
