    Cold town house rooftop bar is beautiful and gave holiday chill vibes. The staff where extremely busy but lovely and gave a good service. I didn't manage to try the food as after only 2 hours we were asked to leave due to another booking slot. I felt 2 hours for a party of 6 to eat and drink was not long energy and usually a booking would be at least 3 hours. I had tried to phone ahead of the booking to query the amount of time and make drink arrangements as it was a snall hen party.,but you cannot speak to anyone and the voicemail is full. If I had of known the booking slots are 2 hours only. I would have requested a double booking and been happy to organise a drink package etc if required to secure. I will definitely go back, I jst felt for a larger party it was a shame to have to leave so early and before food. I gave a 5 star rating for food based on other guests food looking and smelling great.
