Popped into the Pavilion today with my parents and had such a lovely experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and everything was spotless and well looked after. The cake was to die for (honestly unforgettable), and the coffee is easily one of the best I've had in a long time. A huge thank you to the Pavilion and all the wonderful staff — we'll definitely be back! ☕🍰💛

We had our daughters 5th birthday party at jungle madness. We had the best time! A long time in the soft play area, with the children playing happily with many others we met. There was plenty of juice and water for the children and the service for the adults was excellent, we had many coffees and beer. We had our dog with us who had a bowl of water and treats as soon as we walked in! Then we had our party food, everyone was enjoying the sandwiches and nuggets when they noticed pizza slices! The cheese puffs disappeared quickly. The hostess was brilliant at getting the children up and the adults too. We had plenty of space to dance and play and we were all laughing and having a great time!

I recently had my evening wedding reception here and I can honestly say it was amazing!! Amy and Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. They set up everything for us and made it so stress free. It was very busy on the bar and the staff worked so hard to make sure no one was waiting long. They also ordered in extra beer/drinks that we had asked for to make sure they had plenty for our guests. Also having the soft play was brilliant for the little ones. Would definitely recommend for a wedding the room looked so lovely plenty of seating for our guests was nice with the balcony too. The location is stunning we also had somegreat photos taken on the canal. The bar staff definitely earned their money looking after all our guests. Thank you for making our wedding day so special.
