Christmas Party · 110 guests · December 2021
Very well organised by the team, it meant I could relax as I trusted them fully with everything. They did not disappoint. The event ran so smoothly, the food was excellent, the service was amazing, friendly staff. Nothing to fault. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
If they could move the location to near where we work, that's the only way you would make this better haha
