“We had such an amazing time yesterday and it was all through the hard work of your staff. The food and the security were all lovely but it was the outstanding work of your bar staff that has left a place in my heart for them all. They were just incredible helping me at every stage of the evening even though they must have been very tired. Please, please pass on my absolute thanks to them all, they were fun, exceeded every expectation of them and I was so impressed by every one of them. I will never be able to thank them enough. I’ve no doubt I will return to your venue again and again, it’s an absolutely perfect place for any event. Thanks again to you for everything you have done, I am so grateful.“
