"We had a great experience with YCB at the Queens Mill when we held a family birthday celebration there recently. It’s the perfect venue for events such as these and all the staff were more than happy to help with any questions we had. It was set out exactly as we had asked and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a wonderful evening and would happily return for future family events. Thank you."

"I booked the Queens Mill for my 50th birthday party and it did not disappoint. YCB helped me with the planning and organisation and they were absolutely brilliant. They ran the bar, sorted the stage for the band and numerous other things I'd asked for. I trusted them 100%. So many people commented on the lovely bar staff, always smiling and the fantastic venue. I honestly can't thank the whole team enough. Very professional and willing to go that extra mile. Thank you so much."

"A huge thank you to all at YCB for an amazing party. I had so many compliments about the gorgeous venue, fabulous staff and great selection of good old Yorkshire produced drinks. Wouldn't book anywhere else!"
