✨ A HUGE WELL DONE TO OUR INCREDIBLE TEAM! ✨

What a busy three days it’s been! 🙌

Back-to-back weddings, non-stop service, long days, and over 400 people through our doors today alone! 🤯

It’s been an incredibly busy few days, but once again our amazing team have pulled together, worked their socks off and delivered everything with the care, professionalism and smiles that make us so proud.

From the kitchen to the bar, front of house to housekeeping, setup, clear down and everything in between every single person has played their part. 👏

We know how much hard work goes on behind the scenes to make these special days run smoothly, and it certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed. Well done Morgan for leading the team as our new general manager as well.

Thank you, you are all brilliant! 👏
