“I arrived at about 18:30 as my ticket stated between 18:00 & 20:00. The place was dead. Just a few blokes milling about who were friends of staff. The ticket said included ‘alcoholic drinkS & DINNER’ this turned out to be two small bottles of mediocre beer and two bite sized chicken ‘things’ see picture’. By 20:00 another two small groups of people came in but I left. I suspect if it gets more visitors, probably after 22:00 then the atmosphere may improve. The decor was stunning but without any ‘party goers’ it was somewhat superfluous . Drinks, if you wanted more were quite expensive and after observing some cocktails…”
