Engagement Party · 220 guests · January 2024 · Club and Cage Room

This venue was absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our engagement party! Thank you very much for everything and being so helpful from the get-go, a special shout to Domi who has continuously been helping us since September to make the day go smooth! The service from start to finish was amazing, our interactions with every staff member were outstanding. We cannot fault this venue in any way and would not hesitate to come back and we will be looking to hold any future parties here.

Corporate Reception · 150 guests · December 2023 · Cocktail Lounge

Our evening was perfect for networking with clients and allowed for a great social space. The desserts in our catering options were well received and cloakroom run smoothly.

Our savoury food options were below par, with many guests being underwhelmed. There also seemed to be miscommunication between bar staff, and the preorganisation of the event. Our area was also shared with another company, with a shared cloakroom - security were not hugely friendly with our clients and staff, ushering us in quite a hostile way.
