The Square Club hosted my 30th birthday party on Saturday - I had the most amazing time and the venue was absolutely perfect. It exceeded my (already high!) expectations in every single way. The staff were friendly, attentive, accommodating and incredibly helpful, and the food was absolutely amazing. From the drinks reception at the beginning,… through to the food service, and finally allowing us to go downstairs into the bar for the final hour to boogey - the whole night was incredible and perfection. I will treasure that night for my whole life - I just wish I could do it all over again

Booked last minute for Saturday lunch and had the festive roast turkey and it was absolutely lovely. Turkey was rolled, stuffed and wrapped in bacon, duck fat roasties were delicious and came with parsnips, swede and purple cabbage which I love. Ordered some additional maple glazed pig in blankets which were some of the best I've eaten and good gravy is always hard to find, it was delicious. Only downside was they were not serving cocktails until after 5p.m. Would highly recommend the Square Club,food and service was fab. Will definitely be back. Thank you :-)

Booked a work meal here and from start to finish Amy has been incredible! On top of the gold standard service pre arrival, the food was to die for and the setting was beautiful. I cannot recommend The Square Club enough to people! A massive thank you to all your staff for making such a memorable two evenings for us as a business!

We had our wedding at The Square Club in August 2021 and they were utterly fantastic from start to finish. They helped us plan our perfect day, and happily answered our many questions. On the day the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and always on hand to take care of us and our guests so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was amazing and loved by all. Every detail was taken care of, and we couldn't have imagined anything better. Highly recommend, would get married there again!

We had our wedding at The Square last weekend and it was outstanding! It exceeded our expectations. Amy, Sophie and all the staff were fantastic. Everything ran smoothly, food was delicious and everyone had a… fantastic day/ evening! We really wanted a relaxed atmosphere and this is exactly what we had! From start to finish it was completely chilled and that’s down to the hard working staff and the high standard of service they delivered. All the guests were impressed with the venue! We had the best day ever! Thank you everyone for making our day so special.

Eight clean plates at the end of a lovely lunch with work colleagues. The menu was varied but not overwhelming, and it catered to the various dietary preferences without needing to make minor adjustments to the food (although I'm sure they would if required). The staff were attentive and seemed to materialise at just the right moments, bringing refreshments promptly and checking in frequently enough without feeling like an unwanted interruption. Everywhere was impeccably clean, and everyone seemed to be following social distance guidance.

Food was really good but the cocktails were amaaazing! Really interesting flavours and loved the bartender explaining why we created them to us. The garden area is also really cute and the whole place feels like you have to be in the know to go there.
