Birthday Party · 90 guests · September 2026
The staff were all lovely, communication was open and all my questions were asked politely and in good time. Both a DJ and Photobooth were accommodated easily in the space, the cocktails were fabulous and the staff were all polite, professional and made my birthday fun.
The only downside was the toilets - as the space is historical (was a stable) so there are none within the bar. They are just around the corner but they aren’t the cleanest and you have to pay a £1 entry fee.

18th Birthday Party · 75 guests · June 2026
Had 18th birthday celebration. Venue is at a great location. Sussana was available and happy toanswer all our queries. Great bartending team. No toilet in the venue was a concern initially but they are literally steps away from the venue. We hired DJ Kam separately and came highly recommended by Sussana and he was excellent!

Birthday Party · 80 guests · July 2024
This venue is just absolutely beautifully decorated. It was the perfect venue for a summer birthday party for my son's 21st. You can bring your own DJ and also bring your own catering but have the choice to use their caterers too. I was a little dubious about the toilet situation being outside the venue but it turned out totally fine not an issue on the night at all. The staff were just fantastic so welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. I will definitely recommend this venue to all my friends and family. "It just made my night that all my guest had such a fabulous time and all commented on how beautiful the venue was. A special thank you to James the Bar Manager for being so helpful and accommodating.
