Frederiks - Neighbourhood Kitchen & Bar

We had our wedding reception at Frederiks and honestly, it was the best decision we made. It suited us perfectly – relaxed and not too fussy. The space looked beautiful with all the fairy lights, and She's Electric Events came in to add a few extra touches which made it feel even more special. In the run-up, both Adam and Nina were amazing. Adam was fantastic at explaining how the evening would run, giving us different seating options and really listening to what we wanted. I’d said I wanted everyone to be able to sit down for part of the evening but also have space for dancing later. He suggested a mix of trestle tables and couches at the back, which worked so well. Nina was also brilliant – always quick to reply to emails and happy to have a phone call to talk things through, which really put me at ease. The food was another big highlight. We had loads of great menu options to choose from, and on the day it was absolutely perfect – exactly the kind of food we love. Every single guest, from the oldest at 85 to the youngest at 11, loved it. Not a single complaint, and people couldn’t believe how much food there was! I didn’t get any photos of the food because I was too busy enjoying it – which says everything really. Later on, they brought out bowls of chips for the evening guests which went down a treat. We played our own music through our phones and Frederiks had an adaptor ready so we could easily switch between them – really handy and took the stress out of it. The bar staff were amazing, friendly, quick and totally on it all night. There was never a queue, which everyone commented on. The manager that evening was fantastic too. Partway through, I mentioned we were ready to open up the dancefloor a bit more, and without any fuss, he and the bar staff moved some of the tables while I stayed with our guests – which I really appreciated. The whole evening had such a chilled and welcoming feel. Everything ran smoothly, everyone felt comfortable, and we didn’t have a single thing to worry about. When we went back later in the week to collect a few bits we’d forgotten, they’d kept everything safe for us which was just another lovely touch. I’d recommend Frederiks to anyone planning a wedding reception or party. It felt so “us” and we honestly wouldn’t change a thing.
