Summer Party · 70 guests · August 2024 · Full Venue Hire
Company supper party - well we had a great time! Staff were signing praises at the venue already. They were not sure about the 'old people game' but ended up playing all night from start to end in big groups & being very competitive. We got sharing platters for 'snacks', they loved it & wanted more. The only comment was not enough bar staff at the main bar, people kept forgetting about the bar in the private area, it was stuck in the back & nothing took them there.. maybe if it was at the front of the private area it would have been more used. Staff were great! We would recommend the venue. For us the sun was shining, the weather was sweet... & we all wished for just 1 more hour. Thank you .
Nothing.

Private Party · 200 guests · June 2024 · Full Venue Hire
The event was excellently planne and super easy to communicate with, even with my constant backing and forthing. I could not recommend the venue/staff to a higher level. Every detail we discussed was executed perfectly.
I think there were a couple of drinks that ran out earlier than we hoped, but we know for next time to potentially pre-order a little extra of these drinks.
