I had a wonderful experience at the Happy Talk celebrating my birthday recently. The staff were friendly, attentive, and they made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Luke, the manager and Oom, the bartender, were wonderful! The food was fresh, and there was a great selection of drinks available. The venue itself had a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Overall, the service and hospitality were excellent, and I would highly recommend the venue!

We had a 60th Birthday in the Tiki Bar for 80 people, with entertainment, music, great food and drinks. The staff were fabulous from the initial contact right through to the event, with great communication from Luke. We had a wonderful night and would highly recommend the venue and the team. Thanks so much ! 👍😁

My team and I hosted a corporate Mardi Gras-themed event at this venue and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfectly matching the theme of our celebration. Luke and the team were exceptionally professional and attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of seamlessly. The service was friendly and efficient, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment for all guests. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a memorable event with great support and ambiance!

We hosted our end-of-year work Christmas party at Happy Talk and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Luke, the manager, was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and offered great suggestions to elevate the atmosphere. Huge shoutout to the amazing bar crew who took such good care of us all night. Delicious food, tasty drinks, and an awesome vibe — the perfect spot for a company celebration. Thanks, team!

I organised my husband’s 40th at happy talk recently and it was the perfect venue for it. Fully private bar and space with own bathrooms which you don’t get at a lot of other pubs that offer room hire. We could play our own music & option for a dj as well which really made it feel personalised. The canapĂ©s were delicious and we could customise the bar tab entirely. Luke (events mgr) was fantastic to work with and made the whole thing a seamless experience. Cherry on the cake was being able to stay until 1am - a lot of other venues I looked at had a 1130 or earlier cut off for their private areas. Highly recommend as a venue for any party / event!
