Our Reviews for Private Bar Hire

We had a fabulous time last Saturday celebrating my birthday with around 80+ people. The food was great and the bar staff were friendly and very efficient. I would definitely recommend the Chapel Bar as a perfect venue for a party of this sort of size.

We hired the Terrace Room at the Chapel Bar. It was perfect for our event. The canapes they provided were fantastic, as was the DJ that they booked for us. I would also comment on how brilliant their staff were on the night, amazing service! We shall not hesitate to book this venue again

Luke and his team (especially Lucas) made our event at the Chapel Bar thoroughly enjoyable and pain free! Lucas went above and beyond to ensure everything we needed was there and ready and that everything was running smoothly. It was a surprise party event, so we needed to make sure it all ran like clock work in order for it to be a success, and that it was! Thanks again for your hospitality, would definitely use this place again!

My partner and I held our Joint 40th Birthday party at Chapel Bar on Friday 15th November. All the staff were brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. Our night went very smoothly as the bar staff were amazing and really looked after us and all our needs, even when it was very busy. Thank you again for a memorable party. Great venue, would highly recommend.

The cocktails were amazing and my daughter had a great evening. The sound was perfect and everyone was impressed by the venue. I must say that I've found Luke to be very patient with me and excellent to deal with. I sincerely hope that I need to hire the venue again as it was brilliant! Thanks again for all your help and have a great Christmas!!!

Perfect Venue for a special Birthday Party

Had my 60th birthday party on Saturday which was a 70s theme for approximately 128 people of all ages. From my first meeting with Luke, who was so very helpful and easy to talk to, my dealings with Alex and right through to the actual day when William and his team kept all my guests nicely topped up with drinks and canapes. The whole process was a dream and kept my stress levels at an all time low for organising such a special event! The canapes and finger food were amazing. The venue was perfect (loved the disco ball in the dance floor area) and many of my guests congratulated me on finding such a perfect venue for my party. My guests are still raving about it. Thanks again to such a brilliant team.

We recently booked the Terrace Bar and Garden at The Chapel Bar for our Company Away Day. The space was perfect for what we were looking for and the food was amazing! They catered for the dietary requirements of the team and we couldn't have asked for a better venue! The staff were also really friendly and helpful and we will definitely look at booking again in the future.
