the lighting was a bit low - there was a lamp in the room but no bulb, wasn't a big issue.

Staff very accommodating. Good value for the space and time. Excellent lunch food.

Staff were sometimes overlapping in checking in, which caused mutliple short interruptions.

Great service from the team for food off the menu and getting drinks ordered throughout the meeting. The AV system worked for what we needed. Would be good for a 10 person lunch, but would be cramped for 10 people if there are laptops.
