Small Booking

One of the worst places I have every held a party at. Food was not edible. Atmosphere was like a grave yard. I would never go back to the places again. A huge embarrassment. Here's what happened… I book the Ashbar (funky brown) for an engagement party which had about 30 guests on a Sunday, when placing the booking I was told that the places is very busy, it has good food and loud music. Before making the booking I and my partner decided to try the food and at the time the food was good, hence why I placed the booking. On the day of the event my entire guest turned up, exactly... only my guest turned up. Where music was concerned, there was no music. They could not be bothered to play any type of music. Food, what can I say…how about COLD within 2 minutes, food that even I could cook better. Tasted like microwave food. I could understand if the place was busy but it actually was not that busy, when I complained about the food, the manager started to argue with me and saying “the food has gone cold because no one has been eating it, it was hot when it was served”. Properly cooked food should not go cold that soon, only microwave food goes cold that quickly. This place was a huge embarrassment in front of my friends, colleagues and family. :(
