Birthday Party · 30 guests · May 2025
Brilliant event space. Small enough that makes the room feel packed with 30+ people. Great lighting. No issues whatsoever. Staff are lovely and good fun. Drinks are nice and also strong ! so easy to organise. So much fun.
toilet was messy when we arrived.

40th Birthday Party · 50 guests · April 2025
Great location and the room was a really good size, facilities were clean, the bar staff were amazing and loved the fact I could play my own music
I'm still waiting on the return of my holding deposit which I was told would be returned to me if we spent the over the minimum amount which I confirmed on the night we did
