The venue was well placed, perfect for private hire and we enjoyed our event very much. The bar was happy to let us get on with our event to our liking, they hosted us despite the Bristol marathon being on and managed to deliver it on time.
The food was tasty but basic and there was no option for any vegetables or salad which made it a bit tricky to feel like the meal was complete. We weren't able to bring any of our own food either so it was very carb and protein focused. However it was easy and tasty.

Amazing venue in a beautiful part of Bristol, my guests were really impressed and loved the different venue rooms, decor and furniture! All of the staff I encountered during the booking process and on the night were lovely and attentive. The venue had a mix of standing and seating areas, comfortably fit the 40-60 guests that we had. Thank you so much for making my evening feel really special! Would 100% recommend.
