I loved the venue, the rooftop is perfect when the sun is shining!
The fact there's only one toilet in the penthouse wasn't great with many guests eating and drinking.

An ideal place for intimate parties. A great terrace used by guests. I am sure I will definitely come back to this location. I highly recommend this place.
Very high price for optional multimedia (TV or projector). I THINK that a basic TV screen should be available. In our case, we only had one short advertising spot and unfortunately we had to give it up

The food and service was excellent. The catering staff walked amongst our guests with the trays of canapes and bowl food. The Penthouse is a lovely location to hold an evening event and we would definitely return there.

The whole event from planning to execution was excellent. The events team were great at communication and worked hard to make the event everything we wanted. The team on the ground in the day were well informed on the event which made set up SO much easier and everyone was on the same page. We ordered canapes and bowl food and all the dishes were absolutely delicious. Special shout out to Shanen and the bar team who made the whole night especially excellent. Personable and attentive service, they were impeccable at communicating with me as organiser and completely made the whole evening. 10/10!
No smoking on the balcony was slightly annoying as we were on the top floor and people had to lift it 5 floors down to nip for a ciggy. But honestly, for this to be our only minus point is a real testament to the venue and the team. Really recommend this venue!!
