Great staff, venue was amazing and service was incredible. We loved our event
The food portions were laughably small, definitely not worth the money and not as described. The fact this was meant to be enough food for 40 people was a bit of a joke

A really gorgeous event space and friendly and communicative staff -
we will certainly host here again in the future.
I felt that the catering was a bit light for a lunch - but it worked well for this event as we were all standing and mingling for most of the event. The catering itself was delicious!

We were actually at the bar not the secret drawing room. Enrique and the team looked after us remarkably well from preparation before and getting the right drinks and food secured for the night to keeping us well fed and refreshed on the night. It couldn't have gone better and I can't recommend the BFI more. Thanks guys!
Nothing.
