Birthday Party · 45 guests · February 2026
James, Susanna and team, we're brilliant and incredibly responsive. Such a lovely team and venue for my 30th, I couldn't recommend Esther highly enough. They are also super responsive, which is such a major plus!
There isn't a loo inside the venue, so you have to go to the public loos, but they are nearby and clean, so not a major issue!

Party Bus · 50 guests · January 2026
Management team was so helpful and friendly, really accommodating and easy to book. They even let the DJ call them to discuss speaker options, set up etc The venue was beautiful, it doesn’t need decoration although we brought a few bits which they were happy for us to do It was the perfect size and vibe for the group of 40 On the night- The cocktails were delicious , the staff were super friendly, helpful and fast. The private outside space is a nice touch. I read a few comments about the toilets not being in the venue which worried me a little but it was no bother at all, all guests were fine with it as it is literally a few minutes walk Would recommend for any private event and I would host here again! Thank you to everyone for a wonderful and memorable night

Private Dining · 30 guests · December 2025
Last minute private hire booking request and the team were nothing short of amazing. Firstly, super responsive and very clear on what they could do for us (which was everything we asked). On the night the team were excellent, very friendly, worked hard and felt like an extension of our party. Management greeted us both at beginning of the event and end of the night. We did a private hire of the venue for 50 people and it was perfect size for standing and being seated inside the venue and outside the venue in courtyard. We brought in outside catering and venue happily accommodated this. Would definitely use again.
Location is in the Camden Stables which has a considerable amount of venues and therefore it can be a little challenging to navigate at first to find the venue. But thats more takes a few extra minutes to navigate rather than cannot find. All 50 of our attendees found it. The venue is great with an inside and outside space. Just an FYI if planning to use in winter with use of both spaces with main doors open it can get a little chilly near entrance, some attendees still wore jackets at the event. But not a negative, no complaints as venue was still festive and warm.

Yes! Here's what guests who have hosted their birthdays at this venue say:

  • Nirmala G. rated it 4.7/5 stars
    'This venue is just absolutely beautifully decorated. It was the perfect venue for a summer birthday party for my son's 21st. You can bring your own DJ and also bring your own catering but have the choice to use their caterers too. I was a little dubious about the toilet situation being outside the venue but it turned out totally fine not an issue on the night at all. The staff were just fantastic so welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. I will definitely recommend this venue to all my friends and family. "It just made my night that all my guest had such a fabulous time and all commented on how beautiful the venue was. A special thank you to James the Bar Manager for being so helpful and accommodating.'
