Afternoon Tea · 30 guests · February 2020

Jason and the team made my Birthday party such a special event. I met with Jason and visited the place where he answered all my questions in details. The food ordered on the night and in advance was really good and many of my guests commented on the great quality of the food. The night was great as we had our own barman and he was really friendly. We were able to put up our own decoration and move the furniture around. The 30 people who showed up had a wonderful time and the pub was easily to see directly out of the tube station. The staff were really helpful and really attentive. I greatly recommend this venue for a party!

There were no negatives! We had a great time!

Recently relaxed on the setup of the event, our bartender was very helpful when needed and the location of the venue... perfect. Hope to be back!
