Great venue at a very reasonable minimum spend, bar staff were great and friendly.

We were promised a 50% happy hour (in writing) during negotiations with the venue, but when we turned up we were told that the cashier system wouldn't allow a happy hour on a Saturday.

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

  • Joe V. rated it 5/5 stars
    'Held my 30th birthday here for over 100 people in the Cocktail Lounge and the Club Room. The venue and staff were fantastic. They helped keep the night running smoothly, were super easy about playing my own music and also using my own DJ (approved by EventUK). Food all came out at the right time and was of really good quality. Was allowed to use the screens around the room to display photos, and they communicated well with the external photo booth company I'd hired in and allocated space for them on the night. Door staff also super friendly. They also kept hold of all my cards and gifts until I was ready to pick them up the next working day. Honestly a fantastic service and perfect for a 30th birthday!'
