Appalling - was at an event from 09:30 to 21:30 on the Saturday at Friends House, and it was one of my worst experiences ever. I can't believe in this day and age, there was no proper air conditioning... See more

A lovely venue and excellent people

Our one-day workshop worked smoothly from start to finish. I had a dedicated contact person from my first enquiry. All queries were answered promptly. On the day, all the staff without exception were friendly and very helpful. The room was lovely, the food was good, the facilities were excellent, down to rustling up some extra cushions for a delegate. Would definitely come back.

Overall exceeded expectations

Benjamin Lay Suites: lovely, bright, colourful and spacious rooms, great hybrid AV set-up and technical support. Excellent catering service.
Giving it a 4 as customer service required an unnecessary large amount of emails and sometimes the lack of resolution/confirmations generated unnecessary stress.

Great people and location

Friends House is conveniently located as it's within easy reach of all main train lines into London.
The stand out though is the welcome and helpfulness of the staff.
I'd highly recommend the Bowl Food lunch option, which I receive many compliments on from my meeting delegates.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Friends House.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you've experienced regarding the communication after cancelling your booking on November 3rd. We appreciate your feedback and want to address your concerns.

Our team responded promptly to your cancellation, assuring you that we would make the room available for others to book. Unfortunately, if we are unable to re-let the space, our policy requires us to send an invoice for cancellation charges. Apologies if this was not made clear in prior conversations.

We acknowledge that you have been receiving invoices and surveys, and we want to apologise for any oversight in our communication. The text of the invoice email, including the request for feedback and Trustpilot link, should have been modified to better reflect your situation.

We understand the frustration this may have caused, and we are committed to improving our processes to prevent similar issues in the future. If you have any further concerns, please reach out to us directly, and we will address the matter promptly.

Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance our communication procedures.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Kind Regards,

Friends House Team

Good location and building with catering limitations.

We liked the location and facilities within the building. However, with food, our orders were wrong which resulted in delegates not getting more than one item each (for eg if you order 40, you only get 40 pastries, biscuits or cakes). The venue could do with improving on the food experience as spending a whole day requires sustenance. This is also a venue we use regularly as a Trust.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent experience at our venue. We're glad you enjoyed the location and facilities.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by discrepancies in your food orders. Our menu explicitly outlines that when ordering food with us, it is inclusive of one piece per person. For example, with the DDR package, you can expect to receive one Danish per person in the morning, one biscuit per person during the mid-morning break, and one cake per person for the afternoon break.

We understand the importance of sustenance during a full-day event, and we appreciate your feedback. As a charity committed to a robust sustainability policy, we take pride in our efficient waste management practices. It's a rare occurrence for our customers to face shortages of food or drinks. One contributing factor is that all our meeting organisers are briefed upon arrival, informing them that if they find themselves running low on tea and coffee, they should notify us. We will promptly ensure a replenishment to maintain the quality of service.

We value your continued trust in our venue, and we are committed to addressing your concerns to enhance the overall food experience for our customers. If you have any further details to share or would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact our customer support team.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Kind Regards,

Friends House Team

The staff were welcoming and helpful. We appreciated having someone check in to make sure we had everything we needed before the meeting began. Refreshments and catering were brilliant and arrived in a timely and considerate way each time.
