Great place! Food was good, drinks selection was superior. And it was such a buzz to see staff really enjoying themselves whilst providing excellent service. Fastest production of an espresso martini ever!!
Nikolai Mouraviev

We hosted our Christmas party here; and it was just an awesome time. The combination of delicious food (vegetarian friendly!), craft beers and a gin selection second to none made it our best Christmas party yet! The outdoor area is wicked, both in the sun and in the evening under the lights. Looking forward to coming back!

Attended a party in the Glasshouse. A fab venue for a small group, good vibe, superb food, service was excellent. Great for a casual get-together.

My Fiancé and I had our engagement party at Fantail & Turtle this weekend, and I could not recommend this venue enough. The staff were absolutely amazing on the night, particularly Izzy and Grace, who went out of there way to check in with my fiancė and me throughout the night, and they provided the BEST customer service and were just so friendly. Izzy made organising the event easy; it ran so smoothly and stress-free. The food was delicious, and the drinks were even better. I highly recommend the espresso martini!! I would recommend this venue to anyone considering hiring it for any occasion.
