BBQ · 100 guests · June 2024

The venue was set up really nicely and exactly how I had asked for, we had the whole place to ourselves and they even let us extend our booking for an hour. Teegan's communication was great and her and the team were so helpful. Everyone had a brilliant time and the BBQ food went down really well.

Pizza wasn't great when compared to the lovely BBQ food.
