40th Birthday Party · 40 guests
· August 2025
The vibes were fun and exactly what I wanted. The staff were lovely and everything was arranged really well.
There was a problem with the aircon which meant it was either super hot or leaking so we had to keep going outside to get some air.

I had my birthday party there with 50 people playing our own music and doing karaoke, and it was amazing :) the communication with Danny before the party was good, the room was prepared before we arrived and all went seamlessly during the night. I would recommend it !

Danny was super helpful and made the night go seamlessly for all. Really cool venue, the space felt like our own and we had a fab night.
The bar is a little expensive, and there are no pints on draught downstairs so left people with fewer options to match the barspend.

This venue was great for me and 40 friends to celebrate my birthday. We could play our own music, bring our own DJ and decorate how we wanted. The staff were very helpful and friendly when we arrived to set up and event helped with decorating. Bar service was good throughout the night, no long waits. Very memorable and fun night would definitely hire again.
We had slight problems with the sound system but eventually the owner helped out and solved the problem. Glass on the floor when we arrived but was cleaned up when we raised it
