30th Birthday Party · 100 guests · July 2026
I couldn’t fault the venue and the staff at all. Everyone was so helpful and kind and made me feel very special! Big shout out to Alfie behind the bar who was extremely accommodating and welcoming - he’s a credit to your team. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Thank you so, so much! Will definitely be recommending to everyone!

Great communication, both in the lead up to the event and on the day. The space was perfect for a 30th birthday party, especially the private balcony. We also hired the karaoke room which was a lot of fun. The pizzas we preordered were great value and quality.

21st Birthday Party · 50 guests · November 2025
The drinks was lovely, the staff was friendly and the room was absolutely beautiful, had many compliments about the place and service from my family and friends. Was so happy and had an amazing time.
The fact that it ended at 2am, would have loved to have more time to party in that place :)
