- Kotryna McCardell rated it 5/5 stars
'We celebrated our 30th birthday party here and it couldn’t have gone better. The function room was exactly what we needed clean, spacious, and set up perfectly. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout the whole evening, which made everything run smoothly. I’d happily recommend this place to others!' - Anna Percy rated it 5/5 stars
'The venue was perfect for my 30th birthday party! We had about 40 people which filled the room nicely but left a lot of space for dancing. The staff were all lovely, super friendly and helpful and let us set up the room during the day and keep things in the fridge. The happy hour from 6-9 was great value and we ordered pizzas for everyone which worked really well. Would highly recommend!' - Catherine McNaughton rated it 5/5 stars
'Perfect space for a birthday party - staff were super on it and couldn’t be more helpful and we had a brilliant night!'
