Customer Review Summary
Hen parties are the clearest draw, with reviewers describing staff who looked after their group through table and bar service and listened to all their drunken chats. Drink offers and Snapzilla photos of the night get praise too, and a couple of reviewers call individual staff lovely and helpful, with a great atmosphere mentioned alongside. The sharpest complaints concern the door and the bar. One reviewer describes bouncers shouting at groups of drunk 18 year olds standing near the entrance, calling the behaviour over the top and aggressive. Another was removed after a dispute over a photo taken in the men's toilets, saying a bouncer asked for it to be deleted, then removed him anyway after he agreed. At the bar, one customer who asked for water was told to wait their turn and found the staff rude. Another reviewer lost a phone and got it back before opening, after someone had handed it in.

“Just saw two of your staff outside, the blonde/ash coloured headed chick. Removing her Macdonald's takeaways from its packet then chucking it on the pavement. Discusting habit and a bad reflection of your company.”

“We travelled up from Camborne over the weekend for a hen party and we all had THE best night! Great atmosphere, offers on drinks were a big bonus and we loved the fact that Snapzilla were able to capture some great shots of us all enjoying our night. Thank you for having us, we can't wait to come back!”

“Katie was amazing! She looked after our hen party so well and went above and beyond with both our table and bar service. She was so kind and happily listened to all our drunken chats without any judgement .She really helped make our night special. What a credit she is to your team! Thank you, Katie!”

“Matt was extremely lovely and helpful, absolutely made my night on Thursday and wasn't very happy to see him again on Bank holiday Sunday! Had a lovely time :)”

“Bouncers last night surprised me-i've been to many nightclubs and have not seen bouncers being so aggressive to young looking students who really weren't causing any trouble. I'm in my 30s and have lived in London and other cities and have not seen this kind of over the top aggressive behaviour much at all. Treating people like criminals for just standing near the entrance and shouting unnecessarily. Maybe it was just a bad night? But these guys just weren't helping things in the slightest. In fact, it felt like the bouncers were trying to start something. It wasn't like groups of thugs trying to get in, just groups of drunk 18 year olds. No need to shout and scream at people.”
