Ideal for our hen party. Privacy and enough space. We pre-booked the food which arrived exactly when we had asked. The food was also very tasty. The waiters were very accommodating and it all ran very fluently. We were able to play games and have a paint sip session without fuss. It was exactly what we wanted for the hen party and also in our budget which was ideal.

I booked this space for my birthday meal for 16 people, and the entire experience was excellent. Communication from Manon was outstanding, from my initial enquiry right through to the day of the event. The venue itself is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, making it perfect for taking great photos. We had two staff members looking after our table on the night; they were both professional and helpful. I would highly recommend this event space for a variety of occasions, including birthdays, baby showers, and work events. Being able to connect your own music was a great touch and helped create the perfect vibe. Overall, I had a fantastic evening, and my guests did as well.

My only small critiques were that the bruschetta was a little dry and could have used more seasoning (such as olive oil and salt). Additionally, the two guests who ordered pizza were expecting a traditional Italian-style thin crust, but the base was actually quite thick and spongey, so it didn’t match their expectations. While the two staff members looking after our table were excellent, having three staff for a group of 16 would have improved efficiency, particularly with drink orders. That said, these are very minor points. Overall, it was a 5/5 experience!
