I like the room we could play our own music and have a dance
The service was appalling, food came at different times, we ordered champagne and Prosecco which took ages to come, considering it was a 600 minimum spend and £60 room hire fee it was awful, they did give me the £60 back and took quite a bit off the bill I was just expecting better
