There's a lovely green with a play area should you have children attending.
I'd strongly recommend enquiriing about local lady Sarah for any catering requirements, a great lady, so efficient,made the whole event effortless for us and food was perfect.
I booked the hall again for my 40th birthday in October. With a hired band, dancefloor, and photo booth, I needed a venue large enough to host the equipment but not too large that the room felt empty. It was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped for the food prep and the bar area was perfect for serving drinks, keeping the main hall separate for dancing. The built-in disco lights and fairy lights added an amazing feature and helped bring the ambience together. There are also plenty of chairs and tables.
Kim was fast to respond to any emails and queries. On the day I had an issue with the sound system, he fixed it within 10 minutes of my call which was fantastic and kept me stress free! I wouldn’t hesitate to book this hall again. Amazing value for money, clean, well equipped, and friendly communication.
Thank you!
On the day of the party, we encountered an issue with the newly installed music system, which was not functioning despite attempts by several individuals to troubleshoot. We ultimately contacted the person in charge, who responded promptly and was able to resolve the issue.
Overall it's a nice venue for small gatherings.
Again, thank you, it was such a great time, and see you again one day!
