I have booked many meetings large and small at the Priory rooms over the last 2.5 years, I have always found the booking process, quick and efficient, likewise the billing afterward. I often receive good reports from my team on the Priory room facilities and helpful staff. Booking the Priory rooms makes my life a little easier.
