I came for bottomless brunch with my cousin on a Saturday and we had the best time! We decided to opt for the premium option for the cocktails and additional side, and it was totally worth the money, the food and drinks were amazing. But what really made our experience was our server, Miah. She was so attentive and friendly and made sure we were catered for at all times no matter how busy it was. Our drinks were never empty and we weren’t ever left waiting for another. Couldn’t recommend her more. She’s amazing!!!! We will definitely be returning. Thank you Miah🩷

We hired the Gin Nest for my daughters 21st with her friends. Rebecca communicated well and was really helpful in organising the event and Cerys was fantastic on the bar. All staff we spoke to were helpful and friendly. My daughter had a fantastic time!

Came down to support the new ‘Le Disco’ cocktail menu launch and had a great time. The vibes were great and the drinks were even better. Big thank you to Mia for taking the time to recommend her favourites alongside helping me choose what to go for - definitely will be back to try the rest!!
