The service at the Sanctuary was impeccable. Staff were absolutely lovely and incredibly polite. The pastries were very nice. We had chicken and beef mains to choose from and they were fairly unexciting to be honest.

Fabulous team to deal with! Nothing was too much trouble. Venue is spectacular looking out over the parklands & the Zoo, blows guests away everytime. Food was great with guests leaving full even after cocktail style event. We've had several awards events at Sanctuary in various formats and would strongly recommend them for your next event.

We held our wedding reception at Sanctuary 27.04.2019 and it was sensational. I cannot praise David, Lucia and the rest of the team highly enough. The food was outstanding. The menu was exciting, inclusive and had some provenance from the Botanical Gardens nearby which was a wonderful feature. We chose a drinks package option and supplied our… own spirits which really helped with our planning and budget without sacrificing on hospitality and the wines were *incredible* I must say the service and attention to detail from the staff was flawless. They were professional and attentive without

This venue and this experience has been once in a lifetime- Mike and I can’t speak more highly of Lucia and the staff! They went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect! The food, hospitality and ambience were outstanding! Our guests were blown away and we keep receiving compliments from the night. Can we do it again?! Also- the hippos were a hit 😜x Thank you!!!

The animals are sad and their enclosures are either too small or too big. Also the viewing areas aren't big enough for crowded spectators to gather around, and people traffic can be nasty. Probably needs a huge upgrade.

We held our wedding reception at Sanctuary last weekend and it was nothing short of perfect!
The food was exceptional, the quantity and quality was fantastic, and the vegetarian meal was delicious. The venue was excellent - bar setup, dance floor, intimate seating, and made to order coffees. The staff were incredibly helpful, and Lucia and David… helped us with whatever we needed in the lead up to the big day and on the night itself.
The evening was complimented by all our guests, our wedding reception was incredible thanks to the staff at Sanctuary!
