The venue is beautiful and the staff that worked on the day were excellent.

A lot of poor communication, broken lift so no accessibility measures put in place.

Pub · 100 guests · December 2025 · Bar & Terrace

The venue is great and the on the day staff are extremly friendly and helpful.

This was one of the most stressful venues I have worked with, honestly. There were a number of additional costs that came up along the way, and flexibility often had to be pushed for. On the day of the event, our DJ was asked to provide insurance and was required to purchase it on the spot, which had not been requested in advance - very unfair. The team were also quite firm that a sound engineer was mandatory, despite our pushback, only for one not to be provided on the day anyway. It’s a shame, as I genuinely loved the venue itself, but the experience could have been much smoother with clearer communication and a more accommodating approach from the outset.
