The staff were all really helpful and made sure that we were well catered for all evening. It was great fun and well organised.

Not much to complain about, only slight thing was a bit of a delay in the food coming out.

Really good venue and catered for us well. Also were adaptable when our numbers changed after booking which was appreciated

Would have been nice if they had a Bitter on tap but everything else was great
