Great games and service.
Catering was to a high standard, but not enough food for the people attending. Some went hungry.

30th Birthday Party · 110 guests
Couldn’t recommend more, was easy to book the bar with £100 deposit which was refunded after the event for meeting minimum spend
Possibly need more signs to show where private party is and more prevention of strangers walking in as had a number of strangers walk into party and eat the cake we had got as well as one woman place her hand into the cake and grab some cake which is obviously rather unsanitary and not acceptable given she was also a stranger. We thankfully removed the cake and placed it behind the bar so only our guests had the ability to have the cake.

An absolutely amazing venue with an even more amazing events team running it. The venue already has an amazing vibe to it making ready to go as is, but also has lots of space and flexibilty to it which enables us to make the space our own. Lots of screens and a projector available which was so useful to have and games which guests could use. Bar had everything we needed and food was incredible. A great venue, would definitely use it again!
