40th Birthday Party · 40 guests · July 2025
Great space, perfect for our night! All the staff were friendly and went over and above! They seemed to be enjoying our playlist and got involved! PA / sound system was great - could set the volume to suit the mood. Lighting likewise - could dim things down as the night got going and people started dancing.
Smelly toilets/corridor upstairs. Unwanted attention to one of our guests from another patron - a female guest got followed to the toilet. Not the venue's fault and think they kicked him out after so it was dealt with, just a bit of a shame.

Really nice staff, from booking through to the night itself. Nothing was too much trouble. Room was lovely and everything we needed was there. Pizzas came on time and were excellent.
