Fantastic venue, great vibe enhanced by the quirky industrial look, tons of plants and glitter balls! Held 30th party there, loads of space to stand and chat, plenty of seating too. Very flexible regarding numbers and area was reserved well in advance. Would highly recommend for any event from drinks with friends to more organised events with bigger numbers.
Minor point, the range of beers available.
