40th Birthday Party · 60 guests · August 2026 · The Prince Albert Lounge

This venue was fantastic for my 40th birthday. A really nice space and we comfortably got 65 people in and a buffet (which was also really nice. Still have guests mentioning how good it was now!) The staff were also amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, they helped answer all my questions while planning, helped sort decorating and IT (sound system) on the day and made sure everything was ready as we had discussed for smooth flowing of the party! It all went so smoothly and that is in large part to the team at the venue! Id highly recommend this space for any party you may be organising!

Nothing. I couldn't fault it!

Meeting · 50 guests · March 2026 · The Prince Albert Lounge

Private space - lots of natural light. Very versatile, we did meetings then networking drinks then a dinner all in the same room. Staff was very attentive and helpful throughout the whole process.

Some occasional noise from the kitchen, but it would only for a short while closer to 5pm
