The food was amazing, staff fantastic and everyone had a brilliant day. The park across the street and the neighbouring Smithfield Market were good for those people that wanted fresh air. We LOVED the beef main course and the English sparkling wines, and we felt so well looked after by the staff - they really made us feel special.
Haste to turnaround the room after the meal resulted in 1 or 2 cards that we'd received being binned rather than saved. :(

The staff at St Bart's Brewery were incredible. They could not do enough for us to ensure that our day went without a hitch. Everyone said how much they loved the venue, the food and the atmosphere.
That the day had to end.
