    Overall the experience was nice for an nye event but the food was not good. It was an odd combination of courses. Definitely not worth it.

    It was great, I did make reservations and we did get a table but it was difficult to eat a meal at this table. It was low and we were in the way of the servers going to the kitchen. Unfortunately that wasn’t great!

    Wonderful and attentive service from the front reception and the wait staff. Nothing was too much! The food was superb (salmon, mushroom on toast with the most savoury of gravies, and v filling cob salad). Highly recommend The Library Bar for ambience and v attentive wait staff! Ah, and the Prosecco, chilled and delicious!
