"The sun was shining and the 70 invited guests saw the Octagon at its best. Blue skies and sunshine: everyone had a guided tour inside. Some nibbles from our Chef teams . A glass of Prosecco and all received a Golden ticket.

"The Octagons first service was Dinner from 5.30pm to 11pm and was sold out … A great evening with a new team and we received raving reviews."
