Pontlands Park

I had the pleasure of attending the venue for a work Christmas party on the 2nd of December and I was pleased by the all-round experience. A beautiful building, with fantastic decoration and atmosphere. Food was delicious and the service exemplary; particularly from a young lady whose name I believe is Diana/Diane. Bar staff were also extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend to friends for a similar experience. Thanks again to all the staff! (From the guy who decided to dress as an elf)

We have been having our Christmas party there for years. Always has been really good.......this year however, they decided to close the party early, not only that ,last orders was rung 40 minutes before the earlier time. My team work hard all year, they deserve a good celebration. The vast majority left feeling disappointed. When I spoke to the manager( not complaining but suggesting) that I thought was not a good idea. I was told that they can't change things just for me. Actually I normally take 40 to 50 people each year. It wasn't just my bunch, many people were moaning. I can only imagine that the person who suggested the change ,doesn't have much Christmas spirit, and too much money., as they lost a lot of income. If this is the case, maybe stay open, and give the profits to a local Charity. .............Just responding to your reply. i felt a need to write the review because of the way my comment (not complaint) was dealt with at the time, maybe you should be disappointed with your manager, rather than being disappointed with me. i had two of my managers with me during the conversation and they were more unhappy than I. All that was needed was 'leave it with me' or 'we will take you your comments on board'.
