Baby Shower · 50 guests · October 2025
The space provided. Food was very good. Staff were friendly.
Area was quite not set up in the way had been agreed beforehand by staff meaning that guests had to help rearrange the room. No real table service as such provided apart from putting food out but service charge still taken.
