Birthday Party · 18 guests · July 2026
Gloria, our server, was INCREDIBLE! I have to give her some credit as serving a hen party can't always be easy. We had such an incredible time and the bride loved every minute of it. The room was perfect and everyone had such a good laugh.

Very poor communication
There is no mention of having to preorder food when you book an event. Then you pay the deposit. Then they say if you don’t pre order your food there will be slower service, which I said was fine. Then they say you HAVE to pre order. Then they inform you that you have to pre pay for everyone’s food before hand. None of this is disclosed before you pay your deposit, only after. So you have to go around and beg guests for money. I have never had such a stressful time trying to book a simple meal for 10 guests.

FAQ

Yes, I will double-check this; I believe the music volume can be controlled, but not what is played, as it is linked to the venue's/DJs' audio.

Yes, the table can be moved or split up.
