Venue – very quirky and great for points of interest. Food was tasty but very sparce
Unfortunately what we first came to see and signed up to transpired to be far from the end result. It was only down the line and too late for us to find an alternative venue that we were told about the make over of the room. Had we got what we saw with the big screen and stage at the head of the room – it would have worked much better. Venue – very quirky and great for points of interest. However, it did not lend itself well to a 300 person sit down meal, in terms of the shape of the space and the fact that tables were crammed in which made it hard for people to circulate. Having the stage in the middle of the tables was not ideal as it made it hard for the speakers to address the room as they always had their back to people. Food – the food was delicious but sparce to say the least. The amount given was short from what I remember us being presented with at the menu tasting. A lot of the feedback we have received is related to this with guests naming their 3 peas on the pate and having to go out and order food as they were hungry after the event. Audio visuals – The sound in the room was bad. If you were up at the front of the room, you were nearly deafened by the vilume of the speakers and those sitting towards the back of the room could hear nothing – none of the speeches or entertainment. Feedback from our sponsors who had been sold presentations on the screens were very disappointed. Due to the change of the room, there was no big screen to use and the others dotted about the venue were small and in locations which people just walked past. Our guest shad a good time, but there was consistent feedback from the majority as above. I don’t think the space should sold as accommodating a 300 sit down meal, as it is just too cramped.
