We hosted a quiz night at The Burdekin and it was an absolute hit! The venue especially the Level 3 was perfect for our group. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. A special thank you to Erin for helping us organise!

We hosted a joint birthday party at the Burdekin Lava Lounge and it was perfect. The venue was a great size: one room with a bar and lounge area connected to another room with a DJ booth and dance floor. This meant there was a clear space to chat and a space to dance. The staff were all incredibly helpful - both Erin in the build up to the event and everyone working on the day. We were allowed to put up some of our own decor, move some of the furniture, and our DJs used the Burdekin's equipment. It was perfect. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately had a really bad time here. We had a booking for 15+ people - when we arrived there was no table set aside for us. We were told someone was organising a table, but then stood downstairs for an hour. We ended up going upstairs ourselves and finding our own table (which did not have enough chairs). No-one ever followed up with us and no-one ever apologised. I also reached out via email to both the functions team and management, and not a single person responded. We won't be coming back.
