Had a great experience at this venue for our work event last week. The space was nice, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout. The buffet food was good and suited our group well, making everything run smoothly. All in all, a great choice and would happily recommend!

The basement bar was the perfect venue for the hen do we organised. It's a great sized space for our 30 person event. Jonny was really professional and helpful from first point of enquiry to answering any questions I had along the way. He allowed me to dress the space the day before as there was no private hire on, which made my life so much easier and was much appreciated. The food was lovely - fresh, varied and catered to everyone including Gluten free. The drinks vouchers and really good venue for money. Staff on the night were friendly and helpful. I was really impressed by my first private hire experience. Thank you :)

Foundry Project was absolutely amazing, we hired the back space for my 40th birthday and it was just brilliant. The staff were so attentive, friendly and the food was delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough!
