The venue is fantastic and the event was a success. The evening ran incredibly smoothly and I would like to thank all the staff working that night, they delivered a top-class service and catered to all our needs. The food was excellent and every plate was empty at the end of the courses. Our event coordinator was amazing and made everything very easy for me, ultimately leading to the evening running as smoothly as it did. Thank you to all the team, I would highly recommend this venue and I will hopefully be hosting another event here soon.

Everyone loved the hotel and remarked on how very helpful the staff were. Lottie Hook, my contact was brilliant. On top of every detail, nothing was too much bother. She made my job organising the weekend so easy. The doormen were a joy, the reception staff and our food service were superb. the bar staff were so helpful and personable, I can’t fault anything. Thank you
Ms Hampson
My family and I recently celebrated a significant milestone at The Grand, and it was an experience we will cherish forever. The staff were not only welcoming but went above and beyond to ensure our event ran smoothly. Our celebration took place in the elegant Gallery Suite, where we were pampered by Valentin and his attentive assistant. Their professionalism and genuine care for our needs made us feel like royalty. The food was not only delicious but presented beautifully, pleasing and it truly made our celebration feel even more special. Overall, our experience at The Grand was nothing short of exceptional.
Mrs van Abbe
From the moment we pulled in, to the moment we said goodbye the service was beyond 5*. We were so impressed with the attention to detail, the willingness to adjust where needed and the overall sense that the success and enjoyment of our event really mattered to the hotel. Everyone one who we encountered was so polite, helpful and willing to go through extra mile. We are so so pleased and hope to be able to visit again!
