Our server, Ben, was fantastic. The food and cocktails were delicious, and my birthday cake was brought out with candles lit.
I booked the room from 6pm - 12am, but we were kicked out at 10:30 and left the venue itself at 11 when it closed. I also booked this room specifically so I could play my own music through the speakers, however on the day we turned up they said the aux cord had been stolen and as they had no spare, we couldn't play our own music. The only other option was a tiny wireless speaker that didn't play at a high enough volume to be usable.

Fantastic private dining - we were a hour late thanks to last-minute wedding stresses and they were still very accommodating, they allowed those who arrived on time to sit in a different private area to watch the football and was very polite and accommodating when we eventually got there. Food was served very quickly and everyone had a great evening.
