40th Birthday Party · 100 guests
· February 2025
Staff were fantastic, they could not have been more helpful & completely rushed off their feet the whole night! They helped make a very special 40th Birthday.
Perfect for a big event like this, security on the door, completely private venue. Able to come early, set up decorations, live music allowed - couldn't be better!
Huge thank you to all the staff that night!!!
The bookings team were very pushy with pre-ordering a buffet. They suggested 50 buffets for 100 people, crazy. I ordered 10 and that was PLENTY. We still have leftovers after. I'm also not sure if the bookings team had ever been to the venue...So I wen't into the venue and spoke to management in person, they were fantastic and solved all the issues I had with the bookings team.

Food was great, Kieran and the rest of the staff where really accommodating. Location is amazing.
It was difficult for my guests to access the venue before we opened the side door, but when we opened the side door, up until 8pm when there was security on the door we had to deal with people turning up who weren't part of the event trying to gain access.
