Amazing from start to finish

I could not recommend the council house banqueting suite enough!!
All the staff were amazing from start to finish and made the day go smoothly.
Especially Rita and Claire for me who I had the main communication with.
Also George who was very accommodating to my dad who is in a wheel chair.
We honestly had the best day there and I just want to say a massive thank you 😊
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
