Really great venue with some wonderful art to set the scene. For my number of guests, it worked perfectly - the main room was set up with chairs and a screen for presentations, leaving the side room to be used as a bar area. Pavel was excellent to work with. We’ll definitely be back!
I appreciate that the artworks are of great value, but the staff could be a little more friendly when asking guests to avoid accidentally touching them!
