30th Birthday Party · 50 guests · October 2025 · Josephine Room
Excellent and timely food. Support and effort from the waiters was also great.
The booking experience through Tag Venue was very poor, the venue itself was great.

Birthday Dinner · 40 guests · June 2023 · Josephine Room
Team were amazing in the lead up to the event, making sure everything was organised prior to my arrival and set up. Meticulous attention to detail with Farida and Julieta providing exceptional service along with the Jugged Hare Team.

Summer Party · 45 guests · September 2018 · The Lawn
Excellent location for an after-work event in the heart of the City. The bar staff and event manager were great, however the staff serving the food were less so. When asked if one of the dishes was vegetarian they didn't know, and seemed annoyed that they had to find out.
The amount of food that was served was really disappointing considering how much we paid. We had constant comments from our guests that there wasn't enough food, despite catering for the correct amount of people.
