The whole evening was amazing. From start to finish everything beautifully. The venue was set up amazingly and out our guests gave nothing but amazing feedback about the evening. Alistair and the girl working did a fantastic job to make sure the evening went as perfect as possible. The chefs food was spectacular and the beef Wellington I’ll think about for years to come! Also a huge effort on the vegan food which my sister particularly enjoyed!
Nothing at all to note.
