Full venue detailsDetailed Reviews
The upstairs venue a little on the narrow side with a small area on the right hand aside for food layout and down a couple of steps to the bar area but very adequate for most parties of a older generation style certainly not a rave venue, suitable for about 100 or so but could start to feel cramped and hot on a busy summer night. Generally a nice place almost in the town centre, so very nice groundfloor outside area with some tables and seating available.
