Our engagement party at The Champion was fantastic. Staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, professional and made the evening run seamlessly. The Mercury Lounge and garden were great for our group and the selection of drinks was good.

We held a family reunion here and it was great to have the outside space as well - fortunately the weather was dry and warm. There were 50 of us including 14 children. Food was ordered on an individual group basis and was served in good time and the quality was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would happily use this venue again.

We loved the room & garden. Cynthia was fantastic & looked after us so well. She is a credit to your business. The food was very good. The only problem was the music which kept cutting out. Otherwise w3 had a great evening. Thankyou
