Party · 35 guests · March 2025
The space was good as it’s big and can be occupied by more than 35 people
We’ve been asked £50 cleaning fees after the we made the payment for the venue, unprofessional. The place was dirty and table oily and we had to clean ourselves. The owner of the place as we stayed 20 mins more he was keeping coming back and forth to pressure us and leave, so uncomfortable. Cocktails made really bad and expensive, not worth the money for it. I won’t definitely celebrate a birthday there again
