Great space! Super communicative and accommodating, drinks all set out and ball pong was so much fun! Lovely space for a party - intimate but spacious

Really good venue for a party, plenty of space, food & cocktails were good. Staff were really nice.

I had my 30th birthday here and it was amazing from start to finish. Communication was 10/10, Steve was always on hand to answer any messages I had prior and on the day. He was very flexible and accommodating. I had the most wonderful evening and food was delicious. We were able to decorate it how we wanted too which made it feel more personal.

We booked the space for a party, great space with both indoor and outdoor. Wonderful accommodating staff!
