30th Birthday Party · 30 guests · April 2025

The staff on the night were a good laugh and the service was fantastic! My friends and family were impressed with the buffet food which came out at the requested time, the chef even accommodated our request for additional last minute buffet food. The drink options were plentiful and the cocktails went down well....this venue has a great vibe and it's perfect for birthday celebrations. Thank you!
