    Had my 30th birthday party here last night. Amazing from start to finish. Everything was so well organised & I had so many people compliment me on my choice of room. So much history in one room whilst providing a great space to have a good dance & laugh together. Thanks to Michele & her staff for all they did & Johnny (the DJ).
