Fantastic experience: So we recently hired the lounge here for an after funeral get together and I have to say we where absolutely delighted with the entire afternoon from start to finish. The lounge was spacious, comfortable, extremely clean and well presented. There is a small well equipped children's play area and a bar also. We had a buffet of purely delightful food that again I have to say was above incredible, catering for specific diet and allergy requests, having only being referred to the venue it was always a bit of a worry that it wouldn't be right but the moment we stepped through the door our worries where gone. THANK YOU for making a very sad day comfortable and worrie free for us. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
