I hired the Mockingbird for my 40th birthday & the staff really went above & beyond to make it a memorable occasion. We had a DJ in the bar & were allowed to put on whatever we wanted in the cinema - we opted for The Greatest Showman singalong which went down a storm! The food was lovely & the drinks are reasonably priced. Everybody had a fantastic time & commented on how quirky the venue was & how lovely the staff were. can't recommend the place enough & am trying to think of an excuse for another party there!
Nothing!

Private Party · 40 guests · January 2019 · Mockingbird Bar
Great venue, good for adults and kids, as the cinema can be used to entertain children while the adults use the bar and chat. Matt and his team were extremely helpful, couldn't do enough for us. Food went down really well, pricey but really worth it! You can have any film on as long as its a legit copy. The kids loved it!
Not any really, only negative was the venue let the public in before the time was up, on our allocated time slot. But we just worked around this.
