Birthday Party · 30 guests · June 2026 · Orwell Room
This was a fantastic venue with friendly helpful fun staff. It was clean, really nicely decorated inside, and they were very accommodating with decorations and playing our own music. The air con worked perfectly despite it being 35 degrees outside! Our bartender Jack was wonderful! I couldn’t recommend this venue more!
Nothing to dislike, it was all excellent!
