Food was great - everyone commented on that’ Paul was brilliant at communicating prior to ensure everything was sorted
I had asked for Prosecco and beer - I had asked for Prosecco to be poured so people could take them as they walked in - party starting at 7.30 so knowing there would be a huge influx of people arriving within the first hour. I spent an hour pouring people’s drinks at my own party while the bar staff watched me! Bar staff seemed less than enthusiastic and not pro active.
