Great venue - pre-dinner drinks and canapes went to plan. Private dining room was the perfect choice. Our server (can't remember her name) was excellent - ensuring all guest requests were met. Very good food delivery and great pacing of delivery. Lovely wines. Thanks to Charlotte and the team for delivering.

Nothing - All was great. I will be back!
