Overall happy with everything: there is only one toilet so for large group a bit of patience and queuing will form but its all manageable

Party · 70 guests · April 2026 · Entire Venue
We held our wedding celebration party here two weeks ago and it was fabulous! Siobhan was very helpful and relaxed throughout the planning, and the staff were absolutely brilliant on the evening. Everything ran smoothly and without a hitch. Drinks were great, and we were able to bring in Yard Sale pizza and our own homemade tiramisu. All our guests loved the venue!
We had 75 people and were very lucky with the weather - so the outside space was in use all night with people coming in and out. If it had been raining it might have been a bit of a squeeze for our numbers!

I had the most amazing 30th birthday celebration at Mother's Ruin! The whole booking process was incredibly smooth, and Siobhan was a pleasure to deal with. A huge thank you to Siobhan and the entire team for making the night so special. I’d also like to give a special shoutout to our bartender for the evening - I didn’t get a chance to properly thank them on the night (I may have had one too many drinks!), but they were fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mother's Ruin for any celebration. It was a brilliant experience from start to finish!
