Booked Pink Room at Heathcote & Star
4.6
The venue was fantastic—great value for money, with excellent service, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. The pink room was especially lovely, with its beautiful decor, the ability to play your own music, and the convenience of having a private restroom. It was the perfect space for celebrating my 30th birthday. The booking process was seamless, and the staff were incredibly helpful, informative, and quick to respond to any questions. I truly appreciated their support throughout. Thank you for helping make the celebration so special!

Booked Ground floor bar at Fountain Tap

All set up and ready for when we arrived including lots of bottles of prosecco, very clean, they let us put up decorations, played our own music through their system, great choice of beers on tap, excellent bar service and amazing food that came out on time (and the chef happily made us more when we realised we needed more food). 5 stars!

Booked Basement Bar at The Clerkenwell Tavern
5.0
This venue was great value for money. The minimum spend for the Saturday afternoon was £800 which after a burger and welcome drink each we hit, and then spent more on the day. We were allowed decorations, played our own music and some hen party games. The team were super friendly and flexible. The private space had its own bar too.

Booked Mala Madre Events Space at The Last Talisman
5.0
Everything about booking this venue made for an amazing night. The staff were so relaxed and accommodating for everything; from asking us which drinks we would likely be ordering most to ensure they stock up on those choices, to adjusting the lights to give us the best lighting in our photo backdrop area and just generally accommodating our every request. They allowed us to play our own music through a playlist we could make ourselves and allowed us to set up our own decor to really make the whole night feel personalised to us and our event. The actual venue space was perfect in size and aesthetic. Would definitely book this venue again / recommend to others for future events!

The venue was fantastic, luckily the weather was great and we managed to get the outside space as well. The food was amazing and the staff and bar staff were very accommodating to our needs. The event went well and we received lots of compliments about the venue and food. Would thoroughly recommend for a Corporate event!

WOOW! Thak you to Fillipo and his fantastic team for making our trip home super special. The bar staff are super cool, down to heart, and interested in ensuring your party is a success and that everyone enjoys themselves. We agreed as a group that every time I return to London from the States, we will throw a party here! The venue is a hidden gem, super cool and has perfect vibes!

Humphrey and Steve were FANTASTIC and the venue was the perfect choice for my 40th. Incredibly accommodating and helped make my birthday very special. Good choice behind the bar, food was good and we filled the space well (we had just over 100 downstairs, which felt perfect). Thanks guys - a night to remember ! Don’t hesitate booking @SAMA (also conveniently located to many hotels, which was super helpful !)

Booked The Snug at 68 & Boston
5.0
Great service, especially as we needed a slightly larger area than planned and arrived early, food was delicious and regular check-ins on bar tab were really useful in tracking how we were doing. Staff were very attentive to everyone and we couldn't really have asked for any more - great evening.
