The Loft Bar, The Loft Bar

Hired the 'Baby loft' at this venue for my daughters 21st birthday. What a fantastic choice, we had a wonderful evening. The food, hot and cold, was fabulous! The staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing too much trouble. The room was decorated beautifully and just the perfect size for our party of 50 with room for more, just in case! Wonderful all round. Highly recommended!

I think this place has a lot of potential, (decor in Baby loft was beautiful - a really impressive setting and good seating areas) but the catering offer was poor for an event we attended, and I definitely wouldn't count on them if you have food restrictions. Bring your own backup. I was invited to a party where we were all paying 18 per head for, and the organiser said the offer at Babyloft would include scouse, or curry and to let her know if we had food restrictions, so she could pass this on to the restaurant. As a number of us were gluten intolerant and/or veggie, I was really glad this was asked, and assumed they'd make the scouse gluten free (a simple matter of using real stock, or a gf stock cube), and that the curry would probably be veggie as it's easier and cheaper to make it that way. Nope. They were actually offering anyone with food restrictions completely different food (this wasn't mentioned in advance though) whilst accepting advance payment for the curry/scouse. We didn't know we were paying for different food entirely until we'd been waiting in a queue for the scouse for ten minutes. We were then told to sit down and wait for separately plated food if we had food restrictions (this made sense, we thought - to avoid contamination) but they just gave us some triangles of lettuce with a few pea sizes of chicken (less than 1/4 of a breast chopped into baby bites) on top with avocado mash. There's no way on earth I'd pay nearly twenty quid for some iceberg with some meat sprinkles in a restaurant, so we were expecting it to be just a starter with more food to follow. However, we were told that was it. It looked like some kind of extreme diet, and I wished I'd brought my own gf bread/wraps. My cousin spoke up that she both was gf and veggie, so they took just took away the teeny chicken pieces! Meantime my mum and aunties said they couldn't eat the meat in the scouse - too large and tough to chew. My sister sent back the curry because it smelled like cigarettes - I had a sniff and concurred with this. We were not expecting fancy fare but it was farcical. Meantime, due to complaints, they brought us all out some sweet potato fries. Piles of them, because apparently it was the only thing they could think of that we could all eat. No dips, sauces, or even separate plates, just a massive bowl for us all to dip our hungry hands in. I do like s.p. fries, but where was the meat or cheese or protein we were craving by this point? I've been overeating protein ever since! I feel like they meant well, but having just walked through town, I noticed that literally a humble baked potato food truck could have catered to me better with less notice. I had a beautiful club sandwich and chips today at a much smaller place for half the price I paid Babyloft. Adding to the impression was whenever I went to buy a drink at the main bar, the staff were arguing with each other, or food was being sent back (burgers and chips which looked quite nice; as I was starving I felt like telling them to count themselves lucky!). Maybe they were just having a bad day, but I won't be going back.
