Drinks Reception · 40 guests · February 2025

We recently hosted a drinks reception for a group of 40 people, and I cannot recommend this pub highly enough! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The team was incredibly accommodating and attentive, ensuring that all our guests were well looked after throughout the event. The drinks selection was fantastic, with a great variety to suit all tastes, and everything was served promptly and with a smile. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the ideal setting for our gathering. A special mention to the staff, whose professionalism and friendly approach truly made the evening run smoothly. It’s rare to find a venue that gets every detail right, but this pub exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a place to host a group event or simply enjoy a few drinks in a wonderful setting, this is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back – thank you for a flawless experience!

Excellent communication

I had the pleasure of working with Dan to arrange a drinks reception for 40 people, and his help was invaluable. From the initial inquiry to the event itself, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Every detail was handled with care, making the entire booking process seamless and stress-free. Thanks to his excellent organisation and attentive approach, our event was a huge success. I couldn’t have asked for better support—thank you so much!
