    OMG it was absolutely amazing the food was fabulous, staff were absolutely amazing and it was great to get the opportunity to walk through the kitchen all chiefs were so polite and accommodating. We were also able to get a photo with Hugh Allen and Team they are all very talented young people the thinking of creations and the work they put into these meals is just amazing. This was our 2nd time here and we will be returning again. It was also great to see a waiter who was there 10 years when first had this amazing experience ( he was from Portugal)

    Great variety and delicious, generous food. The service was professional, attentive and helpful, we were advised we may have over ordered and indeed if we had stuck to our order this would have even true, the water glass was never empty. It’s a beautiful space with good sound proofing that allows you to chat and sit without feelings of being rushed (we didn’t feel rushed during or after our meal - thank you!) the staff were relaxed and jovial, overall a very pleasant experience that I would return to.

    This was a really good first time experience at Union House. My mum has a dietary requirements for her health and the hotel was very accommodating and she was so happy to sit down to a full meal where she can't always have much off any menu (no salt). The staff were professional, warm, hospitable and friendly. The only point was we had never been to the venue and didn't realise how busy the rooftop was. The staff offered us to move inside though so they did all the right things! We will know for next time.
