Did an event on 14 May 2022 and we couldn't have possibly asked for better service. The staff was friendly and ensured our event ran smoothly. The food was also fantastic. Highly recommend using this venue!

Absolutely the worse people to cater. They did not stay the whole time like they were suppose to. They were suppose to stay for 2 hours, but left after 30mins. They took all the drinks with them. The food all tasted bad, only good thing was the mac and cheese. Definitely not worth the money. No food would have been better. They also were not pleasant at all to me or anyone else. Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had! SAVE YOUR Money! Only gave this 1 star because I can't mark anything less!
