Haunt

A friend of mine holds a monthly event here called the Sunday Shake Off Brunch (a blues dancing and skills share event — you should check it out!), and I was very impressed with the venue today. We use a room downstairs — fairly small but perfect for our needs, with a DJ booth space in one corner, and a small bar in the opposite corner (we use this as a place to rest our drinks, etc, which are ordered upstairs. There is a bar with stools down one side of the room, sofas lining the other side and one wall has a mirror lining it. Today the room seemed to be decorated with a space theme (not for us but we enjoyed it), and they started taking the decorations down once we were done, so who knows what we’ll have next time! One of the sections of our event also involved glitter getting everywhere, and they were fine with that (with advance warning!).
They serve brunch until 3pm today upstairs, but we pre-​ordered ours and sat down as one big group at 3pm to eat — they were happy to help us rearrange all the tables so that we could sit together properly, rather than in split tables of two or four. The brunch menu is small but varied, from salmon to duck to avocado, and the poached eggs are perfect (and fresh! The yolks are BRIGHT and rich)! The coffees were great too, and there were deals on alcohol but I did not partake on this occasion…
Almost most importantly though, the staff were really friendly and helpful! An overall lovely experience, it’s a shame Haunt is so far out of my way in the general day to day! Thoroughly recommended.
