I’ve had a great experience with Dockside Vaults. The staff are professional, the facilities are clean and secure, and everything runs smoothly. I feel confident knowing my belongings are safe here.

My friend had her wedding reception here. Whilst it was ok; I'm not a fan of basement venues. There is no lift for those who have physical limitations apart from a stairlift! The ladies toilet whilst clean had that musty basement smell. It's a large place so it was cold! On the plus side the bar and door staff are lovely.
