Booked Main Pub at The Glasshouse

We hired the Glasshouse for our wedding reception and it was perfect. We set up the private indoor room as a buffet area and then we had our own section of the beautiful garden with a private bar just for our event. All the staff and management did an amazing job of making sure everything went smoothly and the event was perfect. Would 100% recommend the Glasshouse for your event!

Numma and the team were great, the place had a great vibe and I had the best birthday ever. Played my own 90/00s Spotify playlist upstairs and my friends dj’d downstairs, and had lovely drinks all night! Had a really fun time and my friends all enjoyed themselves too. No complaints. Thanks so much and for being so accommodating!!

I cannot recommend this venue enough! I booked for my 30th birthday party and it was perfect! The staff were lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. Everyone commented on the room and how much they loved it. There was a small hiccup actually accessing the venue at the start but it was soon sorted.

Booked Patch Main Bar at Patch St Paul's

The staff and management were so thoughtful, nice and helpful. Renata was great with lots of ideas . It was the most fabulous venue because it has lots of seating and nooks and crannies but they’re still within the party area! I would highly recommend this venue for private events.
