Spacious, modern and cosy. Very nice venue to host an event.
We ordered the pastries but I don’t think they’re were much food and variety.

a lovely place, very reasonably priced and with attentive staff
being in the basement with artificial light can be tiring but for our purpose as it was 3 hours total it worked

Great private room, really nicely decorated for Christmas and our pre-ordered drinks were waiting when we arrived. Stef and the team looked after us really well - always on hand to help us with connecting to the TV/audio for music, and regularly took drinks orders! The booking process, preorder, and communication was all excellent.
All was good - perhaps the veg came out a bit late after the mains but I expect that's because it was such a large group.
