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.

Staff at the private room bar was very helpful.
1. Equipment - Mic did work in the beginning. Stopped working at the closure time. 2. When I met a staff a week before the event, I was told we can come an hour and organise seating as per our dating requirement. But on the day, a different staff at the bar did not leave us before the booking time. I wish I was informed about this in the first place. I could have asked my attendees to come bit later to allow us to organise the room.
