I was at a large company event there; the music was too loud for such an enclosed space and the dinner service was very disorganized even per the amount of people. Definitely better for small to mid sized parties, and the venue itself is nice

The Rowantree hosted our whole wedding, including the ceremony, and we had an incredible experience. The venue has so much character, the team were incredibly organized and friendly and everything ran unbelievably smooth. Thanks again everyone.
