Christmas Dinner · 80 guests · December 2025 · Whole Venue

The restaurant was lovely, the food was great, and the staff were so helpful. The service was excellent, and I heard nothing but good comments from everyone. We would like to thank the venue staff for how professionally they handled the various dietary requirements. Multiple people commented on how comfortable they felt after speaking with the staff about their individual requirements so that was fantastic.
