"We had our Christmas party here and overall was a great night. For a mass produced Christmas party...it's easily the best that I've had in Bristol. Only managed to snap the desert because it was all so good. I had Game terrine for start and Turkey for main aswell as the tirimisu pictured...all of which were bangin'. The cocktails were also really great....but a little bit pricey at £12 for an old fashioned"

"Booked a Christmas party here for 28 people. The venue is perfect, the outdoor area and the secret garden extends the bar and it’s a lovely space. The meal was good quality with friendly fast service. The low review is because the drinks were very expensive, we put a tab behind the bar and it was gone in 30 minutes. But the real issue is that they had so many people in on the night (different groups) the bar was shoulder to shoulder packed. To compound the problem they closed the outdoor space early. I watched a member of staff fall face first with a bucket of ice and lime, he stood up swearing and shouting about the lack of fire escapes (because so many people were packed in shoulder to shoulder). Even the staff recognised that it was dangerously over packed. It made the evening completely impossible. To compound this we paid for a suite in the partner hotel to stay in, got down for breakfast at 10am and was told breakfast finished at 9.30am. We couldn’t get so much as a coffee after having nearly 30 people in and paying for a suite. Not great! It’s a shame as the venue is perfect, they just got greedy with the bookings. It needed about half the number that they had booked in."

"We hired the restaurant here for the drinks reception and meal for our wedding here this summer and it was brilliant! All the staff - every single one, reception, management and servers - were extremely friendly and helpful. The building is beautiful, the food was great, they pulled out the stops for some picky children. Highly recommend!"

"Very nice spot, private cozy space. We DJ here for a 30th birthday party, and was offered some food. There was a some Caribbean options on the menu like rice and peas and jerk chicken. So, it was not authentic as the rice and peas needed so much more ingredients like coconut cream, thyme etc. and the jerk was just seasoned chicken breast. Jerk seasoning is not just a flavour it includes so much more, its how the chicken is marinated, cooked and obviously tastes. We would visit again and try something different. The bar staff are amazing!"

"We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Visiting family in Bristol and was taken here. Ballotine of wild Boar and duck liver to start was an amazing texture."
