Had a great experience at this venue for our work event last week. The space was nice, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout. The buffet food was good and suited our group well, making everything run smoothly. All in all, a great choice and would happily recommend!

Foundry Project was absolutely amazing, we hired the back space for my 40th birthday and it was just brilliant. The staff were so attentive, friendly and the food was delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough!
