The venue was great - both rooms available where lovely atmosphere. We went with the larger for capacity. We didn’t have to do much decorating.
Place was easy to find - and parking not too bad. However it is pedestrianised.
we would come again - the price for hire was amazing!
Food unfortunately let the event down. Even though the food came out on time it was more warm than hot. And a few requested for changes.
For the price we expected a much more high standard quality of food.
