Wedding Reception · 40 guests · September 2026 · Basement Restaurant & Bar
Polite and accommodating staff Food was good and well varied for dietary requirements, with delivery to tables being well-paced Drinks were great and the open-bar was convenient Venue was a perfect size, with an open-bar, plenty of seating, a private entrance away from the main restaurant
There wasn't an obviously accessible toilet from the basement where the venue is located - this was fine for 80% of our guests, but for elderly this was inconvenient. Not a big deal, and likely wouldn't have impacted our decision to book, but it was something we overlooked while viewing.

Bridal Shower · 50 guests · March 2025 · Basement Restaurant & Bar
Thoroughly enjoyed my time here. It was booked for my bridal shower and the staff are very attentive. They provided everything I needed as well to make the day so special.
The desserts are pretty awful, especially the sticky toffee pudding. Terrible. The recipes need to change immediately.
