Great communication with Neil throughout the process - any questions were answered promptly and with detail. Absolutely loved Kerrie (Bar Manager) who helped with everything on the night. All my guests commented on how lovely the venue is. Would definitely do a party here again/would recommend to anyone! Thanks for helping me throw a great birthday party!
