Birthday Party · 30 guests · October 2025
The service was excellent, the vibes were great, our host so friendly and fun and even brought us a round of shots! Booking was easy and Wenny was lovely to work with. I would definitely book again 😄
There was only one mic available for karaoke which was strange and a bit disappointing. A gender neutral toilet would have been nice to have on site. I didn't see one while we were there.
