We recently held our team Christmas lunch at a EUSA venue and couldn't be happier with the experience. Communication with the team was excellent from start to finish, making the planning process smooth and efficient. With 60 attendees, finding a suitable central campus venue was a challenge, but the location at The Pleasance was a lovely short walk. We had our own private room, beautifully set up with stunning decor, including fresh flower displays and festive party hats. The food was both delicious and great value, adding to the wonderful atmosphere.

I highly recommend this venue to colleagues looking for the ideal spot for their festive celebrations.

We held the annual Christmas Dinner for the Translational Neuroscience PhD programme at Upper Hall in the Pleasance this year and had a blast! The team was flexible and attentive during the planning and on the night the room was glittering with festive decorations. The team had even made place cards for our guests which was a really nice touch. The food was nice and drinks package was plenty, if anything we didn't get through it all! The staff were efficient and courteous throughout.

Edinburgh Neuroscience

The event went very well, all your staff were amazing and as I said to Pete on the night, I can't fault anything from our end. Everything went smoothly and all our staff really enjoyed the day. The food was brilliant and everyone was talking about it, so compliments to the chef. We would certainly consider coming back for any other events and possibly Christmas next year.
