βBig cheer for Connie, Hayden and the team at UWA Tavern for providing a brilliant venue for Lachieβs 21 st party last night!
Nothing was too much to ask on the night from Connie and her bar staff where the food was plentiful and the drinks served swiftly. All the guests loved the venue and all of us being able to sit together for the BBQ tea was a highlight for many.
Connie worked tirelessly throughout the night communicating with me regarding drinks and food which left me to just enjoy the night.
Highly recommend five stars πππππ
βWe were here for an engagement party. The venue was very nice (didn't even feel like a tavern). Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Cocktail style food was awesome. Sliders and pizzas were π"
