Baby Shower · 40 guests · July 2025
Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful event. From organising and planning with Bethany to on the day assistance and service with Kelly and the rest of the team, we couldn't have asked for more to celebrate our recent baby and engagement news. Everyone was so attentive and always happy to help and the organisation was fantastic despite it being a really busy day in the pub with the football! The venue itself was gorgeous and the perfect space for everyone of all ages. Bar and food service was excellent and staff communicated fantastically throughout. The staff let us decorate as we wished and offered help with taking down decorations at the end to save us any stress. Thanks for helping us host this special event, would 100% recommend and use again in future.
Nothing that we disliked, however some food labels on the buffet would have been a helpful addition for people to see which food was what, but as no allergens etc on the day this was not a major issue for us.
