Had a lovely time here at bottomless brunch with our friends for their hen do! Natasha was the best host for us and was very attentive to refilling our drinks. What a lovely afternoon, will come back for sure. Great value for money!
I hosted an event for about 30 people and the booking and deposit process were smooth and communication was good (despite some changes to the booking from Steam). The weather was bad on the day, and the staff made the move to an inside space an easy transition. The staff are honestly great - super helpful moving the furniture around, making the space welcoming and checking/clearing on the night. Drinks are cheap and there's loads of interesting spaces to sit. Cool venue and friendly and accommodating staff made it a great experience.
Held a birthday celebration in the Shebeen Room recently and I couldn’t recommend it more! Venue and staff were absolutely fantastic throughout the booking process and so accommodating on the night itself. Atmosphere was amazing and so many guests commented on how lovely the space and team were. Such a great option for student events and celebrations as well. Thanks for a fantastic night!
It’s a Thursday evening with the boys and so we didnt order food but when entering at first I didn’t expect much - great location and lovely outside seating but that was about it in terms of my expectations. The staff however really took me aback, they were unapologetically helpful and were really eager for me and my friends to have the best time possible. Elliot in particular was extremely accommodating, I currently suffer from a disorder that means I’m unable to use normal lavatory facilities and he was quick to assist me in resolving my issue, zero judgement and a completely professional attitude even on a busy Thursday night. My night was really made my his and the rest of the staff’s kindness and I now couldn’t recommend this establishment more. Check it out if you want a nice lively yet chilled evening - will defo be on my list from now on.
