The food was amazing, with good range, well presented and a good amount. The space was beautiful and very nicely decorated. The staff were helpful in moving things around for us before we started party and taking a lot of furniture out. It was helpful to have option to pay for extra staff for bar. The minimum spend was very reasonable. The sound system worked well and the staff were all helpful and friendly.
We paid upfront for prosecco but the staff kept needing to be reminded to pour it out for guests and then we assumed it was gone and were left with 4 X bottles, which was a waste of money and frustrating as then the tab went up due to guests not realising there was free prosecco. A part of this problem was lack of prosecco glasses and I had to go around clearing glasses off tables a few times to get some more for the prosecco, which I felt shouldn't have been needed paying for extra staff.
Staff could have served drinks a bit faster as we had two members but it felt very slow.

The venue was very flexible, and they were happy to handle requests that we had. Bartender on the night was really good, making everyone’s drinks and helping out with music, cake etc.
Food was good but some of the food options (like calamari) were only average. Apart from that, not much else to dislike!
