Engagement Drinks · 30 guests · November 2024 · The Pie Room

The venue was absolutely perfect for our engagement party! Lyndsey was so flexible the entire evening, it was just her on the bar and did everything so efficiently. She let us play our own music in the room and the space itself was lovely. Many people complimented it! We were able to bring nibbles too which was great. I’d use the space again for an event for sure.

There perhaps could have been a deal on Prosecco bottles as we got a fair few and they weren’t cheap. We would have gotten more had there been a little discount for say 5 bottles you pay a bit less… but this isn’t a negative aspect of the night, more of a suggestion!

Lyndsey was incredibly helpful and accommodating. She was very patient and kind with our group on the night and we had an amazing time at this lovely pub with so much character and nice little perks. I would 100% recommend.
