Unusual Space · 50 guests · April 2026

Very helpful staff with a lovely attitude. The venue is so atmospheric and magical, and felt so real. It has proper heart and soul and was obviously a passion project built with specialist knowledge and love! They were very accommodating, we had a private little bar in the Captain’s Quarters. Was great having the place from 6pm - 2am. No stress of having to find somewhere else to go afterwards with stragglers! Location is amazing, had lots of people travelling from all over so that was great.

The food menue was a bit limited for vegetarians. The full range of cocktails / draft beer wasn’t available for my guests as we only had a small bar with one member of bar staff.

Dry Hire · 50 guests · December 2025

This year we had our Christmas party at the Rhum Tavern with over 40 people. It was the best Christmas party we ever had! The place is great, warm atmosphere; the theme is fantastic, from the 80's movie Goonies. Friendly staff. Amazing cocktails. We got festive finger foods and it was beautifully set up. Perfect location! We couldn't have asked for more. Amber and Rhys made our night special and everything was exactly as we had imagined! Thanks to Gabriel too! :) We were able to play our own music which made the night even more fun. The private space was big enough for all of us and we were comfortable and danced the night away. 5* Rhum Tavern!
