    I would give no stars if I could. Awful venue. Went on Saturday for a friends birthday party. We were accused of having drugs on us (cannabis) and threatened with police action if didn’t get rid. Had the lady spoken to us rather than playing Chinese whispers, we could have sorted and she would have seen the error of her judgement (sources say it smelt this way before we even entered the building and after we left) however I refuse to spend money in an establishment that feels this is the right kind of service to give new customers. After speaking to others who were at the party, I was informed this isn’t the first time she has acted in manners such as this. Think you may want to retrain your staff in customer service skills.

    Absolutely horrible woman on the bar. Apparently her name is Ann, she was rude, dismissive and vile. Certainly won't be coming back thanks to her.

    I had my daughters Christening party here at the weekend and it went so well. Ann was really helpful whilst I was organising it and nothing was too much trouble on the day. Everyone commented on what a great place it was, thank you so much!
