PARKING
"No on site parking for guests, one space for entertainers vehicle. Park here and stay here all gig."
ACCESS
"From the vehicle, across the outdoor seating area, up a flight of external metal stairs and into the function room through a set of double glass doors."
FACILITIES
"There is a choice of two setup areas. For large rig: along the rear wall in the open area of the function room. For small rig (lasers only) in the actual bar area to the left of the bar itself - this works well for karaoke as there is a podium to mount the Karaoke equipment. - width available: 2m or less - height clearance: 2-3m"
"Short extensions (up to 5m) required"
STAFF
"Friendly, polite and very informative. Will keep the punters under control and shift them to the downstairs bar at closing time making load out much easier."

Dancefloor	Carpeted dancing area
Stage Area	No stage area
Effects Lighting	Limited useable in-house lighting effects
Haze/Smoke/Pyro	Prohibited
Sound Limiter	None at premises
Blackout	No effective blackout
"The main function room has lots of glass doors to the left with no blackout options at all, yet the main bar area is surprisingly dark which is great for operating lasers. Light screens ineffective. Strict 11:30 music off policy, venue must be totally cleared down by midnight without fail."

PARKING
"Well none, your in the middle of town and have to take the risk of double lining it."
ACCESS
"Poor and tight. Its up 90 degree bending stairs that are narrow and struggled to get stand in"
FACILITIES
"Bring your smallest set up as there isnt a huge amount of room, however the capacity isnt massive either so a loud system is overkill too - width available: 2m or less - height clearance: 3-4m"
"Short extensions (up to 5m) required"
STAFF
"Nice staff - but kept locking doors"

Dancefloor	No specific dancefloor area
Stage Area	No stage area
Effects Lighting	No useable in-house lighting effects
Haze/Smoke/Pyro	Prohibited
Sound Limiter	None at premises
Blackout	Blinds / curtains available
"Once your in its fine. But this is a room for very intimate affairs and not ideally suited to a mobile disco set up."
