- tteejay08/11/2025Wedding Anniversary Wedding AnniversaryWe held a 40th Wedding Anniversary party here in April for 60, having fallen for the 180 degree views of the harbour, undercliff, beaches and the sea stretching over to the French coast. The pricing was also very reasonable compared with many other local venues.We held a 40th Wedding Anniversary party here in April for 60, having fallen for the 180 degree views of the harbour, undercliff, beaches and the sea stretching over to the French coast.
