Engagement Party · 150 guests · October 2026 · Soda Room

Venue Layout & Setup: We were very pleased with the setup of the Soda Room, which provided an ideal mix of seating, standing tables, and open space for our guests. Dedicated DJ & Audio Setup: We appreciated the separate DJ area, as well as the provision of microphones for speeches. Cloakroom Facilities: The inclusion of a dedicated cloakroom was a very thoughtful touch for our guests. Quality of Beverages: The cocktails served throughout the evening were made really well. AV & Sound Capabilities: The Bluetooth speaker performed well, and the projector enabled us to display images from a laptop seamlessly. Event Planning Communication: Communication during the initial booking and planning stage of the event was clear, responsive, and efficient.

Severely Understaffed Bar Service: The bar service was extremely disappointing. Although we were explicitly assured that a minimum of 2 to 3 bartenders would be staffing the bar at all times, there was frequently only 1 bartender visible. This resulted in exceptionally long queues, which ultimately led to our guests leaving the private room to purchase drinks at the upstairs bar instead. Unacceptable Food Delays & Disrupted Schedule: The food service was even worse. According to the function sheet agreed upon with the venue, all bowl food was scheduled to be served between 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM. However, there were severe delays, and after continuous chasing from our side, the food finally arrived approximately an hour late. Furthermore, our cake cutting was scheduled for 9:30 PM; due to the catering delays, this was pushed back to 10:15 PM. By that time, most of our elderly guests had already been forced to leave, meaning they were unable to enjoy the food or cake, nor could they participate in our speeches or celebrations. Failure to Manage Dietary & Allergy Requirements: We informed the venue well in advance regarding guests with specific allergies (e.g., nut allergies). We were reassured on the day that the head chef would prepare these meals separately and leave them on the bar labeled with the guests' names. This was not carried out, resulting in our guests having to approach us multiple times to ask about their food. Only one guest received their specific dietary bowl, and they were unable to eat until 10:00 PM. Failure to Utilize Provided Event Materials: We supplied custom edible cocktail toppers and specifically briefed the bar staff upon arrival to place one on each cocktail ordered (such as Espresso Martinis). Not a single cocktail was served with a topper. Having spent £50 to have these custom-made specifically for this event, this lack of attention to detail was incredibly frustrating. Inadequate Security & Unauthorized Entry: A significant number of non-event patrons from the upstairs main venue repeatedly entered our private room, consuming the bowl food and cake intended for our guests. The door security/bouncer failed to challenge individuals to verify whether they were attendees of our private engagement party. Venue staff only intervened to remove these individuals after we personally spotted and pointed them out to the bar team.

Birthday Party · 120 guests · March 2025 · Soda Room

Great location, friendly staff, good sized room

There wasn’t any beer on tap so a lot of guests had to go upstairs to the bar. This meant their spend wasn’t tracked against the minimum spend so we had to pay a chunk at the end of the night
