Great communication
Really helpful on the night took the pressure off of us to sort things once the event started.
Venue is spacious.
Bar staff were really friendly.
Helped provide links to an event decorator and they were amazing!

The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed for our event. It was fully equipped with a stage, disco lighting, bar area, tables and chairs, and much more. The layout was perfect and created a fantastic atmosphere for our celebration.
What made the experience even better was the incredible event crew. From the day I booked the venue right through to the event itself, Aga was fantastic. She communicated promptly, handled all our requirements professionally, and was always willing to help.
Ellie, who was allocated as our event crew member, was equally amazing. On the day of the event, she worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. She was extremely helpful, polite, and attentive throughout. Even after the event had finished, she continued working hard alongside another member of staff to clear the setup and furniture.
I cannot thank the team enough for their dedication and hard work. They truly went above and beyond to make our event a success. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful space with an outstanding and professional team.

Wedding Reception · 60 guests
· Wedding Reception
We hosted our wedding evening do here for friends (our Wedding Pub Party), as it's a more interesting venue than a standard hotel function room. Very good value for a city centre venue, with a range of seating options, low bar prices and a good sound system. The staff were very helpful and quick to respond to enquiries.
We found we needed to give guests good directions to the venue and included a photo of the doors to use, so extra signage might be helpful.
