Effra Social were so incredible at managing our engagement party, we literally could not fault them if we wanted to (which we don’t!!). They set up the room beautifully, ensured everything ran smoothly all night, resolved any audio issues as soon as they came about and were so wonderfully attentive and response in the lead up. I have recommended to literally everyone who attended and wanted to convey that so many of our guests specifically remarked upon the venue and how fantastic it was. Thank you SO MUCH!! Ps fantastic food.

They were very helpful in getting us setup with the speakers, TV, food and table arrangements etc. Tilly behind the bar was great and put up with us for the evening with a smile despite our drunken antics. They provided great service and the room was perfect for our needs.

Very good communication before the event and it was a perfect space for our pub quiz. Staff made the effort to provide us a microphone on request, and the bar staff were really friendly!
