    Had a Group booking, so we had the deluxe banquet. The quality, taste and quantity of food was praised by my team and they catered well for the vegetarian in our group with personally presented plates of his own. Drink requests were pleasantly responded to quickly and the wine recommendation was well suited and right on budget to be enjoyed. Overall this is a terrific venue and several of the team have recommended ot their friends and family already.

    We had another fantastic evening at The Apprentice. Just wonderful! There was a slight timing delay between entree and main, but the kitchen recovered quickly, and the teamwork was a credit to the students. Well done!
