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.

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.
