30th Birthday Party · 65 guests · December 2025
The venue was lovely and the staff were very helpful! We used it for a joint 30th birthday and the space was perfect. We were able to use downstairs for the first couple of hours and then once the restaurant quieted, we moved upstairs. The drinks were great, good selection and very cosy vibes! Absolutely would book again (and have already been back for drinks!)
The only challenge we had was a confusion over the end time of the booking but the staff were so great and understanding and sorted us right out.

Birthday Party · 40 guests · December 2025
The space was amazing, the staff were really helpful and friendly, and the food and drinks were both excellent
Having to move upstairs half way through the party was slightly inconvenient, but it was lovely to have all of the upstairs space to ourselves!
