Excellent staff on the day with Steven Lewis incredibly helpful and professional in their approach

Better communication before the event and prompt replies to My emails would of made the ordering process a bit easier.

The venue was very flexible, and they were happy to handle requests that we had. Bartender on the night was really good, making everyone’s drinks and helping out with music, cake etc.

Food was good but some of the food options (like calamari) were only average. Apart from that, not much else to dislike!

Engagement Party · 40 guests

A fantastic venue to hold a party! It's a lovely private room, the communication organising this was great. We ordered some buffet food (the premium set, 25 for 60 people, supplied most people with some nibbles) which was really delicious and the staff were lovely!! We were allowed to decorate and play our own music, it really personalised our event. I would thoroughly recommend booking here. I'd happily book again or suggest it to others. Thanks for giving me a lovely evening to remember.

The only draw backs are that it's down a flight of stairs so if you have any disabled attendees take that into consideration, and it would have been nice to have an extra bar staff who could support when the bar was busy and clear away glasses in-between. Was also warm at first but think they must have turned on the aircon.
