Pub · 60 guests · June 2026 · The Birdcage

Really helpful service throughout and quick responses. Great set up and the PA system punched which was very satisfying!

The bar tab was very high and this was on top of a £300 fee (many venues don’t have a fee at all) AND a £300 deposit! This is a huge amount to fork out when many venues don’t require any fee at all.

I had my birthday party here in the birdcage function room upstairs. It’s such a lovely room and a hidden gem! A lot of people didn’t know it was there! It’s got everything you need with a private bar, buffet menus, the team kindly organises a DJ for me and make the booking process super easy and stress free! 100% recommend!

Can’t think of anything! It was all fantastic and staff are lovely!
