The Huntsman and Hounds was the perfect venue for my 30th birthday. Great drinks, helpful staff, played our own music and were able to sit outside in the sun. Was well accessible for people coming from outside of London and we didn’t struggle to hit the minimum spend. I would hire it again in a heart beat!

The owner was one of the biggest highlights of the venue - very friendly, cordial and down-to-earth. And great taste in music to boot. Overall the venue was the perfect size for our private party. The acoustics were adjustable. We had an external karaoke machine so easily connected it to the laptop and monitor. Would definitely book again.

Ngoc was very easy to communicate with and a pleasure on the night. The pub was beautiful, and had been decorated, which made it feel so welcoming. We got to bring our own food and choose the music. Will definitely book again for any future events!
