Venue was clean and modern. Bar was well stocked and cocktails were great. Bar staff and security were great - polite, professional. Making the booking was really easy, Ash is great at answering queries and supporting with the process.
Only minor thing i can think of is that the toilets are a bit small but its not an issue.
