Birthday Party · 25 guests · March 2025
Good service and attractive venue which turned out nicely in photos; also appreciated that there was no minimum spend.
The host told me the venue would close at midnight even though the bar closed at 11pm. However we were made to leave at 11pm which was disappointing, as otherwise I would have started my event sooner. Also the host said they could light the fire, but again the staff on the night said this was not possible.

No, I am afraid there is no screen in this room to use.
