The whole experience was excellent. The events team upgraded our room to separate our function from another larger group nearby. Our staff on the night were very attentive and looked after our group superbly. The canapes were excellent and quality of wines selected very good I would highly recommend the In and Out for a special event.
We absolutely loved our experience in the Prince of Wales Room at Quaglino’s! The space was stunning — elegant, atmospheric, and perfect for our celebration. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the portion sizes were huge. The atmosphere was lively, and it was fantastic that we could either enjoy the music from the main event or play our own. The team went above and beyond to make the evening special, even accommodating an unexpected extra guest with no fuss. It truly made the night feel seamless and well taken care of.
