Beautiful venue, great view of the park. Great for international guests to be so central. Catering was good quality and tasty.

Often hard to get hold of staff on the day, errors with catering (not enough food for our guests) made it quite stressful. Was hard to get our supplies delivered to the venue, could only park quite far around the corner, so had to carry heavy boxes a long way, up steps / cobbled streets with staff unwilling to help at all (even by holding a door open). Everything extra was very costly and strictly adhered to (£500+ to arrive an hour early to set up!). Toilets on our floor were out of order, so only one disabled toilet on the ground floor (down two flights of steps) made breaks difficult.

Very helpful team on site, lovely well kept venue and great location.

It would be great if there were a few more tables available during lunch.
