Reviews and ratings

(37 reviews and ratings – )

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.

Stellar service, organized team and the food was amazing ! Best Christmas party venue I have ever booked!!! Thank you to the team at The Folly - Lisa Dolan - The Guardian

Easy to book, responsive staff, nice venue, good food and drinks.

The service on the actual day was a bit lacking. Several of our guests commented on how rude the service staff was.

Area & big tv

Slow service, not much organisation
