Friendly and attentive staff, nice room and a great vibe. The hire fee was also minimal and minimum spend felt like good value.

Food could have been improved. I felt the choice was limited for à la carte buffet items Also fairly expensive for the quality. Room was quite small but I expected that. Generally I would recommend this venue though!

  • Desmond rated it 5/5 stars
    'excellent service. We had our own dedicated server helping us out. He knew where each of us were sitting and what we had ordered (since we ordered in advance). Excellent venue as well, quite a classy room and very well decorated. They even provided Christmas crackers, which was a nice touch for our Christmas party. Food was excellent. Would 100% recommend this place'
