Event Space · 50 guests · October 2026

The venue was very well located and the team were welcoming when we arrived. The food was plentiful, and the drinks we pre ordered were ready for the guests upon arrival

I would have liked more variety in the food selection. We opted for the chefs selection, and half of the table was taken up with 2 varieties of burgers. The options for guests with dietary requirements was very limited as a result. It also lead to a lot of wastage, as me variety would have encouraged people to consume more of the available options

Fantastic private hire venue. Very classy and beautiful decor. The room was beautifully set out on our arrival with welcome drinks and our own private bar. The communications between us an the events manager Alvaro were excellent and he understood our requirements exactly and assisted with everything leading up to the event. We had a fabulous time and would thoroughly recommend this for your private functions. The catering was spot on and everything was perfect. Thank you to the Astronomer Team.
