Was at a Wedding last week, although meal was good , the service between courses was very slow. Staff need to be trained on service as they came across as if they were only doing the job as they had to, no smiles don’t even answer you when asked a question they just looked as if they could not be bothered . Had to ask for wine top up they only came to our table once . Staff we’re supposed to hand out confetti to all the guests after meal this was not done . Soon as meal was finished they… Read Full Review

Thank you to The Vu, their staff for a beautiful venue and day to remember. A special mention to the lady who wanted to make us happy & also we could tell absolutely takes pride in his job and his customer service was awesome. Being part of the wedding party was stressful, hoping and praying that everything would go well. We couldn't have been happier, from the start to end it was perfect. The food and staff fantastic. You don't go many places now and not hear of at least one person complain… Read Full Review

Was at a wedding on the 6th of may 2016. As i was the desinated driver i was drinking soft drinks. Later in the evening noticed they had non alcoholic beer ordered two and almost fell over with the price of £7.00 yet could get a pint of miller draught for £3.00!! Absolutly shocking they should be welcoming 0eople who are willing to not drink and drive than to drink and drive as its much cheaper to have a pint at this place. If your going to be a driver for the night take you own supply of… Read Full Review

What can i say about the vu being previously employed by there i had to leave with the stress. 12/15 hour shifts with one break the full time. Getting told that tips would be shared amoungst all the staff... in the full time i was there no tips were ever given to the staff so i would advise if you want to tip them dont the company keeps the money. They refuse to give their staff a contract as this means they would actually have to be decent when it comes to sick pay and maternity. All they care… Read Full Review

i was a guest at the vu recently and was totally dissapointed . the only good thing here was the view and even then had it been bad weather you had no chance. after being shuttled from here to there you would have been soaked had it been raining .no one to show you to your seat for the meal which lasted 4 hours as they had to spin it out as there was another wedding going on in the other hall so they had to keep us there till they had finished, my 94 yer old father asked for tea with his meal… Read Full Review

We got married here on 16th October 2014 and quite frankly nothing could have been done or gone better. From the ceremony to the food, which all our 118 guests raved about, through to the service from all the staff, waiters and bar team, it was truly excellent. We could not have wished for a better day or a better venue to get married. Special thanks must go to our coordinator for the day who had to put up with us and all our demands however nothing was a problem. What did we not like??… Read Full Review

Was at a wedding on Friday 15/08/14 My 13 year old daughter got ice cream which after putting it in her mouth was a large piece of glass , to which the waiter said it was plastic from the tub , I can assure you it was glass from another broken bowl . We had to then check the other kids ice creams. The same waiter near the end of the night argued over a bottle of coke When I wanted draught coke I said it didn't even matter about the lesser cost but he refused to give me what I asked for . … Read Full Review

We went to a wedding on Friday past for the evening reception and got a taxi there. When we arrived there was no signage for where the wedding was and there was 2 weddings happening at once. After wandering around for 10minutes we finally located the right wedding. The venue was nice enough but quite plain. We went to the bar and found the staff were quite abrupt and rude. We placed our order which we had to do every drink individually whole the boy prepared them which took double the time. We… Read Full Review

The service was terrible on many different levels. The staff were disorganised and I would question whether there was enough staff working for the number of wedding guests. On arrival, there was confusion as to what was happening, the bar staff allowed most of the guests to purchase drinks. Then minutes later informed that they must leave their drinks where they were to move on to where the ceremony. This was outrageous treatment.. I would not recommend anyone use this as a wedding venue… Read Full Review

I attended a wedding there on 23rd March First the good points: Lovely scenery and the food was good, and plenty of it, well done chef. Bad points: Drink prices are probably on par with Gleneagles, very very expensive. Toilets were not clean and freezing cold. Though you cannot be held responsible for the snowy conditions. Where you are situated, at the top of a hill and the fact guests have to walk app 100 yards from the ceremony room to the main function suite, if you are going to… Read Full Review

I was recently at a wedding at the vu I dont know how much the owners of this establishment scamed out of the couple but they should be giving them twice what was scamed out of them back and i do say scamed as this place is leagal theft this place should be closed down and the owners imprisond for the crime they are commiting hthats ere I must point out that this crime is not the fault of the staff as none of them were old enough to be out of school and no no better I do wonder what day of the… Read Full Review

I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. I was at a wedding here and the service was poor, the staff unhelpful and the toilets were disgusting. If I'd been the bride I'd be demanding my money back. This place could be fabulous if the owners sacked the staff and put in people who at the very least 'like' their job. The food was pitiful too. I'm sorry that I wont go into anymore detail but I wouldnt like my friend to know how her guests were treated. I just want to make sure other… Read Full Review

I'm really not good at writing on these things, all I can say is the vu was terrible we booked our wedding there and ended up cancelling it 2 months before! The staff & owners are so rude with no customer service skills what so ever! Angela the owner is the worst! They are really nice till they get your money then see what happens. She was more interested in her night out with the girls than to speak to us about our wedding When this was the last time for a check list before our big day this… Read Full Review

I agree with you.
I also had a very bad experience with them.

We made a telephone reservation for sat 11th sept 2010, but on the night were told no booking was made. This was the first of many disappointments on that night. There were to many to mention but what we will say is we never be back would not recommend family or friends.
We emailed our complaint and never got a response that speaks volumes as far as I am concerned…

Perfect if you like being snubbed !!!!My fianc and I went for a tour at The Vu recently with the objective to book our wedding there.
Unfortunately the lack of interest for our wedding from the staff and owner was very clear and very noticeable probably due to lots of factors (Clearly we've been snubbed!).
1- With our potential 80 guests (we've been classified as small wedding, so less interesting).
2- The fact that we weren't interested by the Exclusive wedding package (Book the entire place…
