I'm making a review, purely because there weren't enough detailed reviews when I was on the search and this left me unsure based on low food etc scores...
Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised - all expectations surpassed! From the impeccable event management from Tiago & Sophie, we couldn't have done it without them, I can't get put it into words! To the decor - stunning warm Christmas cosy feels, perfect for a festive experience even with big numbers. Food came out on time and we had more than enough to keep us going (it was yummy to, sooo good!).
It was well worth the investment and had so many great inclusions!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making our Christmas event so special, and my first one here so seamless!
One miserable bar man I know I'll get a few complaints over, but that was handled and generally bar staff were amazing + all waiters.
