Great atmosphere and friendliness of staff. The space is as advertised. We had a great time.
Once the music starts its hard to talk indoors.

Steve and the team were really helpful and flexible in preparing, setting up and looking after us on the night. One of the railway arches was perfect was 50 people and the ability to spill out into the wider area was also great.
