Birthday Party · 40 guests
· April 2025
Great space for up to 30/35 pax - got draft beer, easy going on noise and let us bring our own DJ and have a proper party. Food was fairly good. Great drink selection, nice and easy booking process. Security on the night was very friendly and polite. Toilets are shared but no issues with any randoms
