Corporate Event · 120 guests · June 2025
The venue is stunning, also benefits from the terrace and views. Food is excellent. Benefits from private entrance and own toilets.
Some stock issues in advance regarding drinks order such as the rose wine. Personalised drinks menu had some discrepancies from function sheet.
