Private Party · 50 guests
Great bar, with excellent staff - highly recommended.
Communication beforehand from Stuart was always quick and he was very helpful. He was flexible to meet our requirements, which led to a problem free event.
The team on the night were brilliant, ensuring everything was out on time and consistently came to check we were happy. The food was excellent and we overall had a brilliant night.
The space hired was a little less than expected. We still had enough room, but I found the profile description and photos a bit confusing.
However, the solution is to be very clear with them about the numbers you expect to have.

Christmas Party · 250 guests
Excellent venue, beautifully decorated and warm atmosphere. Zoe was great in the lead up, helping with all the preparations. Staff were amazing and the whole evening went so smoothly. Food and service were very impressive considering we were over 200 people. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a really special evening.
The only negative would be the ordering tool, it was difficult to see how many individuals orders were placed and also the cost vs remaining spend could be clearer. (total cost included service but remaining spend didn't).
