In short, don't book the bistro if you have a large group and intend to decorate. Do book if you want excellent service, and a simple lunch for an intimate group by the water! 🥰
My Mum booked here for her 70th birthday celebration, for 30 guests. The staff were wonderful, with a special shout out to the bistro manager for the day, Angela, and one of the service staff, Rose, who were both amazing (also Stacey via phone!)! 🤩
The food was good, and the staff were incredibly helpful. However, it's important to note that they don't encourage or want people to decorate the space.
Angela did accomodate for some of the things we brought, and so we were able to create a special space for Mum to celebrate the milestone, albeit not what we had envisioned.
You need to remain seated in the bistro, as the service staff can't deliver meals and other guests get crowded if you stand! This made it hard to mingle and catch up with others in the group (we were over 3 tables), which was disappointing.
They gave us everything we needed to cut and serve the cake, and stored the cake in the fridge until we were ready to light the candles. ??'- Service was quick, and the tables always had water on them.
All in all, the lunch went really well, and the friendly staff made up for the disappointment with decorating. 🥰 Thank you!
