30th Birthday Party · 50 guests · July 2026 · The Den

Perfect venue - dancefloor, karaoke, ball pit, Aircon and they even showed the England game. The blonde lady (can't remember her name but it was her first day working there) was a fantastic host and helped make it a special night.

We were promised 3 mics for karaoke but there were only 2 and we had to find the second one ourselves. The room we booked smelled like sick cause someone had unfortunately thrown up in there before us. Not really the venue's fault The TVs were out of sync for the football and they were playing the audio from the most delayed one lol Some staff came across a bit rude/ clueless I also advise against having someone in the toilets begging for money
