Had around 30 people in the Wine Cellar for a 30th birthday party and had a great time! Big shout to the staff who were super friendly and made sure things ran smoothly, helping with cake, tunes and even tidying up afterwards! Drinks were fairly priced, even if they only had pints upstairs and no minimum spend or venue fee made it a bargain!

The space was PERFECT! We were 30 people and it worked sooo well. The music was great too as we were able to play from our own Spotify playlist on their iPad so didn’t have to give our phone away. Ed looked after us all night and he was super lovely and overall I was very happy with the venue and service!
