Reviews for Bentley's Oyster Bar and Grill
Made my day extra special!
Faultless Experience
All of the communications in the run-up, our visits prior to the day, the welcome and set up, the management of the wedding running order, accommodation of different dietary requirements, all of the food and wines were delicious, and wrapping up at the end of the day was so simple. We had glowing reports back on all of the food and wine, our guests were all extremely happy, as were we!
We had a vegan and someone with allergies who were taken care of very carefully. We also had a couple of people who preferred beer and non alcoholic drinks, who were also deftly catered to.
Having our own bar, cloakroom and bathroom (with nice soap!) made everything so comfortable. We had our full ceremony, a pianist, champagne and canapes and a full meal (with spotify playlist over the speakers) as well as cake cutting and the space worked perfectly for us. Our suppliers (florist, pianist, registrar and baker) were incredibly well looked after to in terms of access. Everything was clear, warm, efficient and very good value. I would recommend in a heartbeat. I'm quite a critical person with high standards, it's rare to have an experience that you literally can't fault, not even if you were nitpicking, so THANK YOU! :)
Expectations Exceeded in Every Way
Excellent wedding dinner
Everything started in April, with Rob (the sales manager) showing us the gracefully decorated elegant space and winning our hearts over with his warm welcome and professionalism. I remember leaving and realising that our search for venues are over!
The process of communication from beginning until the big day was absolutely flawless. Signed the contract, no hidden fees/surprises, fast and efficient. Later got introduced to Tony, the events coordinator, who literally took the whole responsibility from our shoulders and organised everything meticulously, from moment of arrival to menus, from flower arrangements to name cards. Choose our delicious menus which included crab and mussel soup, seared hake and mango/rhubarb meringue (to start with we had beef tartare canapés, prawns and oysters with champagne)
Everyone separately told us how delicious everything was, many people never had oysters before and were absolutely amazed!
On the day, Michael and his colleagues on the floor took exceptional care of us, let us play our music, even moved a few tables after the dinner so we could have a little dance floor.
Honestly couldn’t recommend enough!
The quality of food and service is top notch!
Wedding breakfast & celebrations
Just Fantastic
The perfect private room for a traditional wedding reception! Highly recommend
After experiencing delays due to covid, we felt Bentleys went above and beyond to make sure our special day was worth waiting for.
