30th Birthday Party · 80 guests · August 2026 · Room One

The venue was perfect for our party. Booking was extremely easy, communication was very fast and they were super responsive to all of my many questions! They really made the process so easy. Lighting and sound was great, was able to just play a Spotify playlist during the event; didn’t feel the need to have a DJ at all!

N/A - would recommend this venue to anyone, and had many positive comments on the night itself

Bar · 50 guests · June 2025 · Room One

I had my 40th party here and it was the perfect venue. The staff were incredibly helpful and the guests all commented on how cool the venue was. I supplied my own playlist, but there was space for a DJ, and I brought my own nibbles, but you could also use their catering. Hannah was incredibly helpful in the run up. Thanks all- I'll be back for my 50th!
