Christmas Party · 60 guests · January 2023 · The Mercury - with Bar
Service was excellent, as soon as we arrived Alberto showed us around our area and made sure we were happy with the details as it was a large party of people. The two members of bar staff were also so lovely, hopefully they enjoyed our group as well! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the venue was a perfect fit for us as some of our party didn't show
The only negatives were the food was not great, there was a lot of it but most of the party let me know that the bits were dry/bland which was a shame. Also the music was SO GOOD at the end of the night, it would have been nice to have some more 00s/10s music at the start of the evening too

They were very quick and efficient to clear the back area when I arrived and made sure everyone in the section was part of my party. The bouncers were also very friendly and looked after us!
