30th Birthday Party · 50 guests · July 2026 · The Main Bar
Gorgeous venue that fit the theme for my 30th, Sunset Spritz, perfectly! The staff were so helpful and friendly throughout the night. I ordered 40 cocktails and 24 beers for my guests as a welcome package, which was very reasonably priced. I asked for a custom "Picante Spritz" cocktail, which was absolutely delicious, and the personalised bar menu was such a lovely touch. It’s a great venue for private hire!
The toilets were a touch inconvenient, especially since we had a few heavily pregnant guests. We also had some difficulty setting up our Spotify playlist due to poor phone reception and Wi-Fi connection in the venue.

18th Birthday Party · 75 guests · June 2026 · Whole Venue
Had 18th birthday celebration. Venue is at a great location. Sussana was available and happy toanswer all our queries. Great bartending team. No toilet in the venue was a concern initially but they are literally steps away from the venue. We hired DJ Kam separately and came highly recommended by Sussana and he was excellent!

Birthday Party · 50 guests · June 2026 · The Main Bar
Susanna was amazing throughout and the guys behind the bar are a really wonderful bunch. The venue itself is perfect for a birthday gathering of any size and the indoor / outdoor setting was great for a warm June evening.
Communication of the minimum spend could have been a bit more discreet as I was told in front of about 4 people that I was not going to get my deposit back which dampened my mood a bit (all is well as we did hit it).
