Great venue. Hired the basement bar for an event and staff were really communicative throughout. On the night the bar staff were really on the ball, friendly and professional. Venue was very clean and well looked after. Great experience.

The basement bar was the perfect venue for the hen do we organised. It's a great sized space for our 30 person event. Jonny was really professional and helpful from first point of enquiry to answering any questions I had along the way. He allowed me to dress the space the day before as there was no private hire on, which made my life so much easier and was much appreciated. The food was lovely - fresh, varied and catered to everyone including Gluten free. The drinks vouchers and really good venue for money. Staff on the night were friendly and helpful. I was really impressed by my first private hire experience. Thank you :)
