The venue was great and just what we needed. It was senior corporate event with presentation and drinks reception. Rhea was incredibly attentive and everything was seamless as were the staff on the night. The food was sandwiches, salads and chips and they were really good. We would use this venue again.
The space was amazing, very classy and just what we needed. Above all else the staff have been amazing every step of the way- from Lily and Timothy in the sales team to all the staff on the day of the event especially Rigelt- he made sure everything was spot on and ran smoothly. Highly recommend King Street Townhouse
The event space was elegant and well suited to my vision for a private dinner party. The food was fresh and delicious, most guests were happy with the e courses although we would've preferred more options. The staff were also polite and accommodating, I would definitely use the space again.
It was great. Communication during booking was really good, and always had a timely response. The venue was ideal for our needs and the staff were really friendly. Great location. Lovely pub. Food was good. Would recommend.
Perfect venue, from booking and organising we could not have been better looked after every step of the way. Every member of staff went above and beyond throughout and on the day – the most amazing people on the day, never stopped and were proactively making the event the best it could be, genuinely blown away by everyone involved.
- Lydia was amazing with communication from start to finish. - The team made the occasion feel so special and the bar was well equipped. - Drinks were well priced - Having a separate venue was lovely.
Great location, great venue size, friendly bar staff. Great communication when organising - we were fine to bring our own food and have all our own music on. The value you get on this venue for the price is phenomenal - we had such a good night!
Great friendly staff great venue great night! Any people who wernt supposed to be there staff dealt with!
