“The Public was a great place to hold my team meeting. It was easy to find and the customer service and food was excellent. Everybody found the bright colours cheerful and it was great during lunch to have a walk around the gallery – and seeing 80 tea dancers using the Longroom was quite an unexpected delight! Not the usual thing we’re used to seeing from other venues. Many thanks to everybody for a great day.” Cadbury Regional Sales Manager
