The space was perfect for our event and the bar staff were always on hand, food was delicious. Would absolutely go again! Met the minimum spend as we pre ordered food then the drinks on the night made up the difference so great value.

Great venue. Hired the basement bar for an event and staff were really communicative throughout. On the night the bar staff were really on the ball, friendly and professional. Venue was very clean and well looked after. Great experience.
