Venue was very large and clean. Staff were helpful, in particular Wayne was very patient and helped us set up the projector as well as handle our food orders for the night. Wayne's service made the night very enjoyable.

The space was clean, attractive and practical. We had about 65 standings guests for afternoon drinks and it was perfect. The private bar was great and the staff were attentive. Would definitely recommend to others.

Birthday Dinner · 25 guests
Celebrated my husband's 40th in this venue and everyone had a good time. The room was spacious and well decorated. There were a few things that needed to be cleaned up like a small puddle on the floor and some chocolate on the seat but fairly minor things. The staff were quick to clean this up when we told them. Communication was very good and staff answered all the queries promptly. We were able to put up our own decors which was nice. The staff who looked after us upstairs Ranjit and Harsha were very helpful and got all the orders correctly. A senior staff called Marta also made sure we had everything we needed. Food was really good too. All in all a very enjoyable birthday celebration. Would highly recommend this place.

Really fantastic venue - private room is well maintained and fully equipped with everything you may need. The staff were really friendly & helpful. They went above & beyond to ensure my guests had a fantastic time. It was great that we could order food from the normal food menu without having to pay a charge per person.
