50th Birthday Party · 70 guests
· October 2025
Communication from enquiries to booking was excellent with the team. The venue was perfect and suited our party of approx 60 guests perfectly. Lovely food - guests all commented on how nice the chicken was and wished there was more of it! Thanks for accommodating our dietary requirements. Nice to have drink packages to choose from
Not much really. It would have been helpful to know of any events in the area beforehand so we could have made guests aware re parking and in hindsight I should have looked into that.

Wedding Reception · 120 guests
· August 2025
We had our wedding reception held here and the staff were absolutely AMAZING from the start of the planning process to finish. Anything you ask for, they’ll make it happen. Chelsea thought of every detail and put so much hard work into making it the perfect night for us. Jack also went above and beyond creating Canva signs for us! The buffet food was outstanding and decor inside is so beautiful that you don’t even need to add anything in. We loved every minute of our special day and we owe a big thank you to The Distillery. Would HIGHLY recommend using this venue for an event.
Couldn’t pick any faults!
