- Wedding Reception Venue:
“We went to view this as a location for our wedding reception and we absolutely loved it! There’s so much space and every floor is accessible. While the bottom floor is accessible only from the outside, the car park is conveniently located beside that entrance. Our tour answered all our questions, providing plenty of information and time to soak it all in.” - Festive Dining Experience:
“First Christmas meal away from home ever!! The meal was terrific—starters beautifully chilled, mains piping hot and perfectly cooked, generous portions, and individual Christmas puddings that were moist and boozy. Despite a very full dining room, the staff were brilliant: pleasant, friendly, and incredibly attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend it.” - Charity Event Success:
“Booked the downstairs event room for a charity event on 11 October 2024. The team was fantastic, providing regular updates and even adding a complimentary drink for all guests! The staff on the night were exceptional—nothing was too much trouble, and they worked effortlessly to make our charity night a huge success. A BIG thank you to all the team at As You Like It.”
