Review of Waterfall from 20 August 2012
We had our wedding day back in June of this year, I have to say it was fantastic, when your only paying a smallish amount of money you don't expect silver service and a 3 course meal but I wasn't disappointed at all in what was offered to us and I believe I got exactly what I paid for. We had chilli, jalfrezi, rice, salads and pitta breads as a help yourself carvery all of which was very tasty. For the cold Buffett later on there was a wide range of food to choose from. Our room was decorated exactly the way we wanted it. I had Venetia on speed dial in the run up to the wedding and nothing was too much trouble for her she was always polite and very helpful, I couldn't have asked for a better person to be on the other end of the phone! The staff there were all very polite and couldn't do enough for us I would definitely reccomend the waterfall for a wedding package!

    Funny how your wedding was in June and you only review now.

    Also I like the fact that the silver service quote was exactly what I said to the owner. my words were “I don’t expect silver service, just hand out the meat to my disabled guests that’s fine”

    And i actually paid for a 3 course meal, in case you are a little thick
    Soup, main and dessert, that’s 3 courses!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gee whizz if they are going to get someone to follow my reviews get someone with half a brain please.

    Although I’m glad you had a great day and I wish you every happiness for the future..congrats to you and hubby

    Following your recent comment, For your information we have been on honeymoon for the a month that’s why I am only making my review now. I’m a little perplexed by your comment as if to say this was done just to annoy you, however I can assure you I have better things to do with my time. I have not spoken to anyone at the waterfall since my wedding day, although if in person you are just as rude as you have been to me, I can kind of understand why you may have got a sharp reply, wedding day or not!!

  • THEGRAYS, 22 August 2012:

    Odd Very Odd, they never get any reviews and poof all of a sudden they are great it is highly suspicious…

    At least I believe yours to be fair..wish I had Just had the buffet now and not bothered with the meal.

    Did you have the bloke DJ he was really good! we were all conga-ing with the bar staff :)

    They are the bits I’m going to take away from this experience, the Fun bits

Review of Waterfall from 18 August 2012

The Waterfall has a serious lack of communication and communication. Karl the owner has a bad attitude and seems to encourage a blame culture in his organisation, I was openly told 2 "wedding/events planners" had been sacked, because they had made mistakes this was THE DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING, so the warning bells went off a little late for me. I will say though that his staff were excellent and tried their best, they constantly apologised, and Karl the owner needs to take a leaf out of their book.
A few points to add to the below:
I found out THE DAY BEFORE my wedding that a lot of what I had agreed was wrong (see below).
The website advertised a Party package which I had, it says disposable camera's and party poppers supplied, we received neither.
We were in the Executive Bar both the Bitter and the Lager were off, I was informed to much cleaning fluid had been put through the pipes which meant many of my guests had to trudge through to the main bar to get drinks.
We had Soup as a starter, as the waiter was clearing away he managed to pour it down the back of my wedding dress and down the grooms suit jacket, luckily a member of the bar staff helped me to get it off my dress quickly.
The main meal was cold, with not enough vegetables to cater for the 53 guests, myself and the groom ended up having to help the waiters serve our guests. The Groom and myself were so upset and embarrassed that we didn't eat our meal.
We had pre-ordered a toast for our speeches, which was to be served at 6pm, I had to go to the bar at 6.20 to see where the toasts were, only to be informed that the bar staff had all changed shifts and no one had told them there was a toast. we finally were served this at 6.45, which was annoying as we had a magician for the children booked to start at 7pm so we had to rush through the speeches.
The management staff refused to come and speak to me, they couldn't understand why I was upset!
WELL KARL and Venetia, you only get one wedding day, you save hard for it and you want the day to be special, YOU FLAWED my wedding day, you can never compensate for that!
I didn't want to speak to you so I could get money back if that is what you feared, I wanted to talk to you to make sure this never happens again to another Bride on her special day.
Please Invest the money I paid to you in cleaning the dirty filthy carpet in the main entrance, varnishing the filthy wooden floors and possibly purchasing a couple of air fresheners to get rid of that musty smell that hung in the executive bar!

Review of Waterfall from 19 October 2010

I had my birthday party in the Executive Bar at Waterfall. I chose to have the a hot buffet, which was changed to my requirements. The staff was helpful and food was delicious also the presentation was very good.I also used their DJ, who helped to create a fun atmosphere.
I was very happy with the night and I would highly recommend to go there! :-D
:-) B-D B-)

Review of Waterfall from 29 September 2010

I had my wedding reception at The Waterfall and we had an amazing night. I was shocked to read the earlier posts as that wasn't what we experienced.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the executive bar is by far the most stylish function room we had viewed out of all the alternatives. I'd definately reccomend viewing the rooms.

They are very reasonably priced and great value for money. I've also been to a party there in a big room upstairs which was also a great night. Maybe 2008 was a bad year lol. I'd definately go back to the Waterfall :o)

Review of Waterfall from 21 May 2009

this building is so beautiful yet so badly looked after. spoke to owner who is the most unfriendliest of persons. Behind the bar looks dirty and unhygienic. Beer tasted rank and over priced. wine selection was equally dire. Staff looked unhappy and tired. I hope I never get invited to a function here I can imagine what that is like

Review of Waterfall from 5 November 2008

A typical kids pub where they sell “plastic” beer at inflated prices. Not worth visiting if you are interested in real ale.

Review of Waterfall from 29 June 2008

they have a large function room ,good for party e.t.c me and my hubby had our wedding reception here. the only problem we had was we had to keeping ringing them to take our money to pay for the room, never know a place that don`t want to take your money.
