Baby Shower · 100 guests · May 2026

Amazing venue, staff were helpful and made the day run really smoothly

Room was really hot during the recent heatwave, despite the fan they provided and opening the sides to let air in it was particularly warm

40th Birthday Party · 50 guests · April 2026

I loved the look of the venue, the way we were greeted by the staff and the additional help that was given throughout my event. The drinks we did have were good and strong.

I do wish there were more options / a choice of options for the cocktails in the bottomless as it was quite far for the other bar, but what we did have - were great, just some people had to drink outside the "cocktails" as there were only 2.

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests · December 2025

The most amazing venue to hold any event. I rented the secret garden which was so beautifully decorated with a sleigh, snow machine, Christmas trees, fairy lights and heaters. Also the staff were second to none, so smiley and helpful all the time!

Absolutely nothing, it was a fabulous evening!
