Staff were incredible, the party was amazing - all guests came to me and praised the event, from the food to the venue and the facilities. The staff were again, incredible, providing great service for me and my friends. I would definitely recommend another party and would definitely come back. The planning process was quick, easy and efficient, and pricing was fantastic. Thank you!

Alex was of great help in organising the perfect wedding after party for us. All of our guests had a great time and it was exactly like how we had planned it to be. The entire staff (especially the bar staff) during our event were extremely helpful and they assisted us with all of our requests. We’re thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and dedication portrayed by everyone involved in managing & organising our event. This is the place to be if you want to have the best time with your loved ones! The fun part is you get to have different games so it makes for a great socialising experience as well.

Viewing and booking process was really simple. Minimum spend is very reasonable. Food & drink is very reasonably priced in there.

Nobody checked the room before we arrived - they only had an AUX cable for our music and this had been cut. First hour of the party was the staff telling me it would work, despite me holding a wire which had clearly been cut in my hands - it didn’t work. We were allowed to use the Bluetooth as there was literally nobody in the bar, but the staff kept changing my music & were being funny about us putting songs on. Some of the bar staff had awful attitudes. A spirit was finished and they refused to go and get another bottle from another bar despite the place being empty. Room hadn’t been cleaned properly - strong smell of damp. Was told when booking we could choose what was on draft - tried to contact in the run up to the event, got no response and was then told I could only have what was on. Was told the room would be private - it wasn’t. Bar staff were coming in with their friends and members of the public also came in.
