Beautiful place, flexible, central, very reasonable, no catering but therefore also no corkage or charge for bringing your own. Very friendly and helpful with a complicated booking. Would be my first place to try for anything in future.
Only marked down amenities as upstairs ladies loo was out of order on the night - but this is beautiful space that I can't recommend enough
