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!

FAQ

No, a private DJ cannot be used because the space is semi-private. The venue will have its own DJ playing in the main bar area.

The standalone speakers use an XLR connection. The venue was unable to open the supplied link, so the microphone's connection should be checked.

No external music is allowed in the semi-private restaurant space, but the venue has its own DJ on Saturdays.

Yes, a dance floor can be created in the restaurant area by pushing tables to the side and rearranging the layout.

Yes. Noise levels depend on the type of booking and the number of guests; music in the Basement Bar may be heard slightly in the Main Bar if the upstairs area is completely quiet.
