Christmas Dinner · 150 guests
· December 2025
Maria and the team were all very friendly and went above and beyond for nigh on 160 team members. I've had some positive feedback from attendees what a fun time it was.
Can't be helped when you're feeding all of those people at the same time, but some of the food was not the hottest, but it was still tasty.

Christmas Party · 16 guests
· December 2022
Exemplary service. My team was happy and enjoyed the dinner. Some of the song requests they made were played and they danced to those tunes. We ended up making friends with people on the other tables as well. The atmosphere was really great. All the staff was very hard working and efficient. Excellent service by Sam throughout the visit who was looking after my team. The food was good in portion size, tasted good, and was not expensive either. My team mentioned that they had the best Christmas after a long time.
