“We found The Chimney House to be an excellent event venue – very different to your ‘run of the mill’ meeting rooms. The lunch was superb in both presentation and quality – everyone commented on how good the food was and the layout worked really well. The staff were great, always attentive and accommodating. A great venue with a twist and one we would use again.”
