The space is beautiful, the staff are amazing. We had such a fantastic evening celebrating with our family & friends. Nothing was too much trouble. They looked after our wedding cake, helped us pack up what was left at the end, supported our DJ getting set up. We’d really like to shout out Sinead and Ray for just being the best, they are professional, friendly & so supportive.

The venue was absolutely PERFECT for my friends hen do. The staff were so attentive from start to finish - excellent service throughout and really lovely food. There were 30 of us and it was perfect. So accommodating to every request and great value for money. Highly recommend this venue. We were able to set up in advance of everyone arriving, streamed our own music and enjoyed the sunshine on the rooftop. 10/10, thank you!!

Christmas Party · 50 guests · December 2025
Staff were quick to set up extra tables & chairs and assist in other things when we requested it and were friendly and professional. Our guests all said they enjoyed the food and requested we go back next year for our Christmas party, as it was a great room and location.
It wasn't clear when I booked that I needed to specify how I wanted the room to be set up (cabaret tables, long tables etc), and so when I arrived it was in it's default set up which didn't have enough tables and chairs for everyone. However, the staff were quick to get the extra seats needed before everyone arrived.
