Staff were great, let us set up early and pop over several times beforehand. Super helpful and the day went really well!
Air con! Not sure if there's a reason for no air con but our event was held mid heat wave and wow it was warm in there.

· John Rylands Roof Terrace
They were easy to communicate with in the planning stages, ease of organisation for food orders etc. The food was really tasty and staff on the night were great.
Slow service on the night. We were expecting food to be served around 7.30 however by 9pm main courses still hadn't been served and most people didn't get desserts as they were brought out late, most people were dancing and enjoying the evening. There was also an issue with the roof on the night so the room was particularly cold. People from other parties were easily able to access the room and could have easily ordered drinks from the bar tab etc.
