The Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock

One of the best venues I have ever delivered in. Friendly supportive staff, first class location and view. Lunch was amazing. Will return

Writing on behalf of a bereaved family that recently hired a room for a funeral tea. The room was really nice as were the lovely staff we dealt with on the phone at the Beacon but unfortunately cannot say the same for the service from what we were told was from outside caterers. All that was in the room when funeral party arrived was a flask of tea & coffee. We all had a cuppa before one plate of sandwiches arrived and placed on the self service table, no plates or napkins to put them on until about 10 minutes later another plate of sandwiches and sausage rolls arrived with plates and napkins. Some cakes also appeared which looked like they had been flung onto boards. The cold food could should have been laid out covered, ready for people arriving. The food itself was okay but presentation and service left a lot to be desired. I am sorry to say I would not recommend the Beacon for this service. For the price charged for catering at £11.50 per head we could have got better service in a cafe! Just as well it was only for 25 people and not 100. Sorry about the poor review as nothing against the venue but the catering situation needs improving.
